The 2025 Prairieland ICE detention center incident, alternately the Alvarado ICE facility incident, occurred at Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, United States, on the evening of July 4, 2025. Officials say that eleven individuals, some wearing black clothingRead more
or body armor, set off fireworks and vandalized parked vehicles and a guard structure outside the center. A person in a nearby wooded area allegedly opened fire with a rifle after local police responded; an Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and released from the hospital a short time later. Eleven individuals were arrested soon afterward; in the following month, the alleged shooter was arrested after a manhunt, and five alleged associates were arrested.
On October 16, 2025, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed terrorism charges against two suspects, and in a social media post, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi said the two men were part of "antifa", which she characterized as a "left wing terrorist organization." Major media organizations said this is the first time the DOJ has charged anyone with terrorism in connection with alleged antifa activities, mirroring statements made by FBI director Kash Patel. In October, an eighteenth person was arrested on a state charge of aiding in the commission of terrorism. In January 2026, a nineteenth person was arrested. Supporters of the defendants refer to them as the Prairieland 19.
Several defendants said they believed they were attending a peaceful "noise demonstration", and had no knowledge of any planned violence. Some commentators have criticized the government for arresting and charging suspects for transporting anarchist literature, arguing that that it could have a chilling effect by creating a precedent for prosecuting people exercising their free speech rights who are associated with activities the government has decreed to be terrorism.
In November, seven defendants pleaded guilty to federal charges of providing material support for terrorism or damaging property. On February 17, 2026, the trial of nine remaining defendants began, but was postponed because U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman declared a mistrial due to "civil rights messaging" on a T-shirt worn by a defense attorney. The trial restarted on February 23 with a new jury pool.
On March 13, nine defendants were convicted of providing material support to terrorists for their actions while one defendant was convicted of the attempted murder of a police officer.
