The message from President Trump’s Justice Department is hard to miss. Shoot an officer, storm a federal immigration facility, and call yourself Antifa, and you can lose the rest of your life. On June 23, 2026, the DOJ announced that Benjamin Hanil Song, described as the leader of a North Texas Antifa cell, was sentenced to 100 years in prison for the July 4, 2025 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. Seven additional defendants were sentenced alongside him, bringing the combined punishment for the eight to 450 years, all before the one-year anniversary of the attack. The DOJ said the facility was being used by DHS to house illegal aliens awaiting deportation. That is who these operatives went to war for. The Justice Department, with matching FBI confirmation, said eight members of the North Texas Antifa cell were sentenced for roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer. The DOJ said this was the first sentencing of Antifa-affiliated defendants since President Trump’s September 2025 executive order designating the group a Domestic Terrorist Organization. Song was convicted of the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, making the 100-year sentence the centerpiece of the case. The seven others named by the DOJ each drew serious time: Maricela Rueda, 70 years; Cameron Arnold, 50 years; Savanna Batten, 50 years; Zachary Evetts, 50 years; Bradford Morris, 50 years; Elizabeth Soto, 50 years; and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, 30 years. The trial ran 12 days, beginning February 23, 2026. Jurors heard from 46 witnesses and reviewed more than 210 exhibits. The evidence described by DOJ points to planning, equipment, and intent. The DOJ said members brought 11 firearms, body armor, and 11 military-grade first aid kits stocked with tourniquets and trauma supplies to the scene. Tourniquets and Faraday bags fit a very different plan than a peaceful march. The DOJ said phone evidence showed participants turned off their phones or slid them into Faraday bags to avoid being located, while DNA and fingerprint evidence tied many of them to items recovered at the scene. According to the DOJ, members shot off and threw fireworks and explosives, vandalized vehicles and a guard shack, and smashed surveillance equipment. When correctional officers called 911, an Alvarado police officer responded. The DOJ said Song opened fire and struck that officer in the neck. Song fled and stayed at large until he was captured on July 15, 2025. The FBI also pushed the case update through its official account, confirming Song and seven fellow cell members drew a combined 450 years for the terrorist attack on the ICE facility. The work brought together FBI Dallas, Homeland Security Investigations Dallas, ATF, Texas DPS, the Alvarado Police Department, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, and ICE ERO. The timing matters because the July 4 anniversary is already drawing fresh attention around federal detention facilities. Inspired by the North Texas Antifa July 4 terror attack on the ICE facility last year, far-left extremists have announced a direct action at a federal detention facility in Tacoma, Wash. on July 4. The building was the target of an Antifa shooting ambush back in 2019 by John… pic.twitter.com/YVDZ5OMLjb — Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) June 30, 2026 More accountability is still on the calendar. The DOJ said Ines Soto was granted a continuance and is set for sentencing on July 1, 2026. Seven others who pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists, Seth Sikes, Nathan Baumann, Joy Gibson, Susan Kent, Rebecca Morgan, Lynette Sharp, and John Thomas, are also scheduled for sentencing that same day. For years, political voices on the left tried to wave Antifa away as a slogan or an idea. The officer shot in the neck on July 4 knows better, and now so does a Texas jury. Song will likely die behind bars, and seven of his fellow operatives are looking at decades of the same. That is what happens when you bring guns and body armor to attack a federal facility under a Justice Department that treats it as terrorism instead of activism.

President Trump’s Justice Department announced on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 that a woman in Upstate New York was arrested and charged with trying to funnel money to a foreign terrorist organization. Her name is Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, New York, near Rochester. According to the DOJ, she is charged by criminal complaint with attempting to provide material support and resources, specifically currency, to Palestine Islamic Jihad, also known as Al-Quds Brigades. PIJ is a designated foreign terrorist organization. The Justice Department announced today that Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, New York, was ARRESTED AND CHARGED by criminal complaint with attempting to provide material support and resources, namely currency, to designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) the… pic.twitter.com/AIQs3ooxbD — National Security Division, U.S. Dept of Justice (@DOJNatSec) June 30, 2026 The alleged scale is what stands out. The DOJ says an analysis of financial records showed Washburn sent roughly 80 cryptocurrency transfers totaling about 30,116 USDC to an account used by a person who identified as a PIJ fighter in Gaza. Prosecutors describe a recurring pipeline: transfer after transfer, not a stray transaction. The Justice Department says the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force executed search warrants in February and March of 2026 and recovered electronic messages between Washburn and the individual who claimed to be a PIJ fighter. The agency says those warrants produced the messages and financial trail now sitting at the center of the case. That person allegedly claimed to have taken part in attacks with PIJ against Israel. DOJ says the two discussed purported PIJ attacks, weapons, and ammunition, placing the allegation far beyond ordinary political speech. Prosecutors say the recovered messages included Washburn allegedly writing that she wished every day were October 7th, and that she would fight alongside the resistance if she lived in Gaza. October 7 is the day Hamas slaughtered civilians inside Israel in 2023. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Harvey for the Western District of New York and Trial Attorney Patrick Cashman of the DOJ National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. The DOJ also connects Washburn to a group most Americans have never heard of. The complaint alleges she is a leader of the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation, or DAMPL. According to the DOJ, DAMPL was formed after the October 7, 2023 attack and rejects peaceful protest in favor of direct action, including alleged sabotage and property destruction against entities it associates with Israel. That background turns the case from a local arrest into a national-security warning. The GWU Program on Extremism published a report in September 2025 describing DAMPL as a domestic extremist group that emerged in early 2025. The report was published months before this DOJ case, placing the arrest inside a broader pattern researchers had already documented. The report says the group escalated from online rhetoric to vandalism, intimidation, and attempted incendiary attacks. That progression is exactly why the alleged movement from propaganda to money matters here. It also says DAMPL aligns itself with Hamas symbols and rhetoric, while drawing inspiration from militant direct-action campaigns abroad, including Palestine Action in the United Kingdom. The researchers frame the group as a case study in how a foreign conflict can catalyze homegrown militancy inside the United States. That is the thread federal investigators appear to be pulling: a suspected pipeline between U.S.-based extremism and a foreign terror group abroad. The local coverage out of Rochester confirms the arrest and detention.

President Trump promised on Day One to end the permitting nightmare that buries American projects for years. One year later, the numbers are in. The White House published a release on June 30, 2026 marking the milestone, and the scale of the overhaul is bigger than most people realized. The release says more than 60 agencies and departments have now reformed, or are in the process of reforming, their procedures after CEQ reviewed thousands of pages of rules and related materials. The core problem is a law called NEPA. For decades, the White House argues, the review process was used to delay federal permits and stall American growth, letting activists and lawyers drag projects through endless paperwork. President Trump moved on his first day through Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy.” One year ago today, the major permitting agencies updated their NEPA procedures. That list includes USDA, Commerce, Interior, Energy, FERC, Transportation, and the Army through the Army Corps of Engineers, the agencies that the White House says account for most NEPA litigation and shape the country’s energy and infrastructure agenda. Those agencies handle the vast majority of NEPA litigation and touch nearly every energy and infrastructure decision in the country. Here is the headline number. The White House says more than 60 agencies and departments have now reformed or are reforming their procedures. USDA and Interior have already finalized their policies. The administration estimates those reforms alone will save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Since the start of the administration, 195 categorical exclusions have been adopted. Those are the tools that let routine, low-impact work move forward without a full multi-year review. Interior’s emergency NEPA procedures can now clear domestic energy and critical mineral projects in under 28 days. The drilling approvals show how far the shift has moved. BLM has approved over 6,100 Applications for Permits to Drill, more than in any fiscal year in the past 15 years. The administration says it has approved 63.7 percent more Federal and Indian drilling permits than the prior administration over the same stretch of the presidency. On coal, the White House points to 76 coal-related permits and 13.1 million more acres of federal land opened for leasing. Geothermal is up too. The first year and a half offered 748,000 acres of geothermal resources, more than the entire prior administration offered. One year ago, a major shift transformed American agriculture, land conservation, and forest management.  Under the Trump Administration, USDA has now finalized modernizing its NEPA regulations, cutting bureaucratic red tape to save taxpayers millions and accelerate critical… — Dept. of Agriculture (@USDA) June 30, 2026 One detail is important because critics will try to blur it. NEPA still exists, and environmental laws still apply. The point is to put deadlines and limits on a system that had become open-ended paralysis. The EPA shows what that looks like at the agency level. On June 24, 2026, EPA proposed reforms it says would make reviews faster, clearer, and more predictable without lowering environmental standards. The proposal sets firm page limits, including a 150-page cap for a normal Environmental Impact Statement and 300 pages for actions of extraordinary complexity. EPA also says the rule would require the agency to finish an EIS within two years, sharpen the scope of NEPA analysis to the proposed action and its reasonably foreseeable effects, and simplify categorical exclusions so routine, low-risk work is not forced through duplicative reviews. The agency says the proposal aligns EPA with reforms underway at USDA, Commerce, Interior, Energy, Defense, Transportation, FERC, and the Army Corps. Interior finalized its own reforms on February 23, 2026, calling the overhaul a return to NEPA as a focused procedural law rather than a maze that delays decisions for years. The department rescinded more than 80 percent of its prior NEPA regulations and moved most procedures into a streamlined departmental handbook. Interior said the reforms are expected to reduce delays and costs across public lands, including energy development, critical minerals, livestock grazing approvals, infrastructure, wildfire mitigation, water projects, and conservation work. Interior was direct that the changes do not eliminate environmental review, and that NEPA remains in full effect. The department says it will still consider environmental impacts, coordinate with tribes, states, local governments, and partners, and comply with applicable environmental laws. The legal footing runs through the White House Council on Environmental Quality, which removed CEQ’s NEPA regulations after EO 14154 and published final action in January 2026. The energy agencies got moving early. On June 30, 2025, the Department of Energy announced updated NEPA procedures built around clear deadlines, better lead-agency coordination, page limits, and more use of categorical exclusions. This is the America First agenda showing up in permits, job sites, utility bills, and rural counties. Energy, housing, AI infrastructure, critical minerals, the defense supply chain, and rural projects no longer have to sit frozen for years while Washington paperwork piles up. The environmental laws are still on the books. The difference now is that the country is allowed to build again.

The federal government just put real money behind American ranchers, and it did it in a way that cuts the dominant meatpackers out entirely. On June 30, 2026, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the Strengthening Processing for U.S. Ranchers Program, known as SPUR. The program will provide up to $500 million in temporary support to eligible beef processors. Here is the part that matters. The money is aimed at small and mid-size processors, not the nationally dominant packers who already run the market. According to the USDA announcement, SPUR is designed to build stronger and more stable market opportunities for American ranchers. The agency says today’s pressure comes from historically tight cattle supplies, meat-packing consolidation and foreign ownership, and the reemergence of New World Screwworm. USDA says the payments are meant to help eligible processors that are facing higher cattle-acquisition costs, driven by an abnormally low number of cattle being raised in the United States. The support is authorized under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act and administered by USDA’s Farm Service Agency. To qualify, an entity must be a beef processing establishment under Federal inspection, or one inspected under the Talmadge-Aiken Cooperative Inspection Program or the Cooperative Interstate Shipment Program. The eligibility rules are where the America First teeth show up. Eligible processors must be U.S.-owned. They cannot be nationally dominant in beef processing, and they cannot be owned by an entity that is. USDA defines nationally dominant as holding a market share at or above the fourth-largest player in the beef processing market. In plain terms, if you are as big as the top four, you are locked out of this money. That design is intentional, and the numbers explain why. USDA says four companies control nearly 85 percent of the U.S. beef processing market. Two of those four are foreign-owned. USDA also says the U.S. cattle herd is at a 75-year low. So you have a shrinking herd, tight supply, and a market where a handful of packers, some of them foreign, hold most of the leverage over American cattlemen. SPUR is built to keep independent processors in the game while the herd is rebuilt. America should never rely on foreign countries or a handful of meatpacking giants to feed our people. That’s why today, @SecRollins launched the Strengthening Processing for U.S. Ranchers (SPUR) Program—a $500 million investment to strengthen independent and mid-size beef… pic.twitter.com/YD1eCNUz7L — Dept. of Agriculture (@USDA) June 30, 2026 USDA frames regional processing capacity as a national security and food supply-chain issue with real consequences at the sale barn and grocery store. If small processors go under, ranchers lose market access, and the country becomes even more dependent on the same few giants to move beef from pasture to plate. This fits directly into President Trump’s broader push on food affordability, domestic supply chains, and standing up for American ranchers. SPUR supports USDA’s Plan to Fortify the American Beef Industry and its Small Processors Action Plan. The USDA beef plan spells out how deep the hole goes. Since 2017, the U.S. has lost more than 17 percent of its cattle ranches, more than 150,000 operations in all. Over the same stretch, consumer beef demand grew about 9 percent over the past decade, while the national herd fell to a 75-year low. The plan is built around three priorities: protecting and improving the business of ranching, expanding processing and market access alongside consumer transparency, and building demand while rebuilding domestic supply. It also tightens what “Product of USA” means. Only products born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States will be eligible for that claim under the voluntary U.S.-origin label enforcement. On the small-processor side, the plan includes expanding remote grading, cutting inspection fee burdens, and supporting local processing capacity. The Small Processors Action Plan makes the same case from the processor side. USDA says small and very small processors often operate with limited staff while dealing with complex regulatory requirements, which makes timely technical help and clear agency coordination more important. The plan points to direct support, practical expertise, and funding support for processing capacity, including help that allows smaller plants to stay open, modernize, and serve local producers. That matters because these plants give ranchers nearby marketing options when national packers are full, expensive, or too far away. Rollins has been blunt about the consolidation problem for months. Today, just four companies — JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — control roughly 85% of the cattle processing market. That level of concentration has surged from just 25% in 1977 to 71% by 1992, and now to an astonishing 85%. Together, these companies operate through… pic.twitter.com/s4naYFcjt7 — Secretary Brooke Rollins (@SecRollins) May 4, 2026 To be precise, SPUR is up to $500 million in temporary support for eligible processors, with the Big Four locked out by design. It is a targeted move to keep independent American processors standing while the cattle herd rebuilds. For ranchers who have watched their leverage shrink year after year, that is the point. More places to sell, less dependence on a handful of packers, and a food supply chain that stays in American hands.
