Suspect wanted in anti-ICE Texas ambush previously sued in past protest incident

A manhunt is underway for Benjamin Song, who is suspected of being involved in an anti-ICE attack on Independence Day that left a police officer shot in the neck.

Ten individuals have been charged for their roles in the shooting of an Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center.   (Justice Department)

Song was mentioned as an alleged member of an Antifa group in a 2023 lawsuit after three people protesting a drag queen brunch near Fort Worth, Texas, were assaulted by the members, according to the Post Millennial.

According to KERA News, Song was part of the Elm Fork Brown Gun Club that was both counter-protesting and doing security at the event, with the outlet reporting that they wore face coverings. 

The group made headlines at the time for its Fort Worth counter-protest, including Rolling Stone, as those protesting were part of a Christian nationalist group.

His father is Tailim Song, a Dallas-based business attorney, and his mother is Hope Song, the program director of an Arlington, Texas, martial arts studio, according to online records reviewed by Fox News Digital. The father is involved in various local community groups, including the Dallas Asian American Cultural Center.
