Man Gets 100 Years for Armed Attack on Immigration Detention Center

Benjamin Hanil Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison in June 2026 for his part in an organized armed attack on an immigration detention facility in Texas. Prosecutors used a special legal tool called terrorism enhancements—rules that apply when crimes target government operations—to prosecute the group as domestic terrorists rather than ordinary criminals. All 16 participants faced charges; convictions were finalized by March 2026. The lengthy sentence shows courts will punish such organized attacks severely.
