(The Federalist)—Under the cover of darkness, 10 people, some carrying firearms, allegedly attacked the Prairieland Detention Center utilized by ICE in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, shooting a police officer in the neck.
This is major news that should be plastered across the front pages and home pages of every prominent media outlet. It is a major crime with an apparent political motivation, allegedly committed by an Antifa terror cell. Along with numerous guns, communication radios, and body armor, investigators found members of the group with printed advertisements that included messages such as “Organising for Attack! INSURRECTIONARY ANARCHY,” according to the criminal complaint. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged 10 people with attempted murder of a federal officer.
So where are all the news stories screaming about an insurrection? Missing are the deep dives into the backgrounds of the 10 charged, who are named in the complaint: Cameron Arnold (also known as Autumn Hill), Savanna Batten, Nathan Baumann, Zachary Evetts, Joy Gibson, Bradford Morris (also known as Meagan Morris), Maricela Rueda, Seth Sikes, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto.
CBS News doesn’t even mention the fact that a police officer was shot in this headline, “Suspects used graffiti, firearms, body armor in Fourth of July ambush outside North Texas ICE facility, officials say.” Neither did NBC’s headline, “10 charged after ambush at Texas’ ICE detention center,” nor did ABC, with its headline “10 arrested after ambush on Texas ICE detention facility, officials say.”
Days after the reported July 4 attack, on July 7, Ryan Louis Mosqueda was shot and killed after officials say he opened fire on U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the Border Patrol McAllen Station.
