ALVARADO, Texas — Three additional suspects have been arrested in connection with the alleged North Texas Antifa cell accused of carrying out a domestic terrorist attack shooting on an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, bringing the total number charged to 17 so far.
Rebecca Deyalyn Morgan, 38, is accused of helping hide alleged cell ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song while he was a fugitive for 11 days. Song, who was on the FBI and Texas Top 10 Most Wanted lists, was captured in Dallas on July 15. Morgan was arrested the same day and is being held on $2.5 million bond on a local charge of hindering the prosecution of terrorism. She also has a federal hold on her, suggesting she is a suspect in a sealed federal criminal case.
Also arrested on July 15 was Dario Emmanuel Sanchez. He is charged locally with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. His bail is set at $5 million.
Susan Elaine Kent, 23, of Cedar Hills, was arrested on Aug. 7 on suspicion of engaging in organized criminal activity and hindering the prosecution of terrorism, both Texas state charges. In social media posts shared by far-left accounts, they refer to Kent with “they/them” pronouns and say she was helping lead the “DFW Support Committee,” the group raising funds for the terror suspects.
“To arrest someone well over a month after the July 4th event signals the state’s dogged attempt to tear through this community,” reads the post. “Susan was actively working to support the defendants, to advocate for them to get the best legal defense possible and encourage them to exercise their constitutional rights.” The post goes on to denounce the arrests of the violent suspects in Portland, Ore. and Spokane, Wash.
Kent’s bail is set at $10 million.
The Houston Antifa group “Screwston AF Committee” is among several far-left extremist organizations raising money for the suspects on the Christian conservative fundraising platform GiveSendGo. Some extremist groups have turned to the site because GoFundMe bans fundraising for individuals accused of violent crimes, though this is often not enforced.

Authorities say all 17 are accused of either participating in the July 4 ambush on the Prairieland Detention Center or aiding the alleged shooters afterward. During the attack, dozens of rounds were fired. A local police officer was shot in the neck but survived.
All but Sánchez Estrada are being held in the Johnson County Jail. Sánchez Estrada, a Mexican national who received a green card in the final year of the Biden administration, is being held at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth.
The FBI says it recovered 14 firearms, ammunition, body armor and Antifa propaganda during its investigation. The suspects face a combination of federal and state felony charges, and their bail amounts range from $2.5 million to $15 million.
