Who is Benjamin Song? New details emerge about anti-ICE suspect wanted in major Texas manhunt

Benjamin Song, who is currently being sought after by the FBI for his alleged role in an anti-ICE Texas attack on Independence Day, was previously sued over his alleged involvement in an Antifa protester that resulted in assault charges in 2023, as the manhunt continues in the Lone Star State. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for Benjamin Song, 32, for his alleged role in the Alvarado, Texas, attack targeting ICE agents, which left a local police officer shot in the neck and cars vandalized. The police officer is expected to recover. A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction. There were ten suspects already facing federal charges for the attempted murder of federal officers and for "discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence." Song is now facing the same charges. Song is a former U.S. Marine Corps reservist, and the FBI warns that he should be considered "armed and dangerous." 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. Song's father is Tailim Song, a registered Democrat and partner at the Dallas-based law firm, Song Whiddon PLLC, according to online records reviewed by Fox News Digital. His law firm bio says he "has been handling and trying cases for more than 20 years" and "has represented businesses and individuals across a wide variety of industries and practice areas, including litigation, real estate, land use, zoning, manufacturing, intellectual property, technology…environmental, aviation, consumer products, insurance, entertainment, transportation, medical devices, oil and gas, and renewable energy." His bio goes on to say that he is a member of the "Dallas Asian American Cultural Center, Friends' Committee" and is a former commissioner of the Cultural Affairs Commission in Dallas, among other professional memberships. Song's mom is Hope Song, the program director of an Arlington, Texas, martial arts studio called Sentinel Martial Arts, according to online records reviewed by Fox News Digital. An archived webpage of her bio says she is a 4th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and "oversees the implementation of all in-house and off-site programming," which includes "seminars and classes at local learning centers, schools, churches, camps and clubs; and coordination of special events, festivals, demonstrations and performances." Her bio also says she likes to empower young girls and women with self-defense classes to help them stay safe amid bullying and other potential dangers. In addition to Song, a twelfth suspect, Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, is also facing conspiracy to tamper evidence charges. He is reportedly the husband of one of the alleged attackers. He was granted a green card under the Biden administration and is a prior recipient of DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Some of the suspects charged in the Independence Day incident met in an online chat group on Signal, and court records show it could have been worse. A July 7 criminal complaint filed by the U.S. District Court Northern District of Texas alleges that assailants shot 20 to 30 rounds from an AR-15-style rifle before it jammed, causing it to malfunction, on Independence Day. Investigators continued on Tuesday to look into how the suspects were linked, including through a possible Signal group chat. Court records revealed extensive planning as well as anti-government literature obtained in an apartment tied to a suspect, including literature entitled "Organising for Attack! Insurrectionary Anarchy." Another suspect allegedly had flyers in his backpack with "Fight ICE terror with class war!" and "Free all political prisoners." Cars in the parking lot were spray-painted with "Ice pig" and "traitor." Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI as well as Song's parents.

Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins accused of punching woman with ‘closed first' as new details in arrest emerge

Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins allegedly struck a woman in the mouth with a "closed fist" during a physical altercation that led to his arrest in Florida earlier this month, according to new details. Judkins, who was drafted by the Browns with the 36th overall pick following a standout season at Ohio State, was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department over the weekend and charged with battery and domestic violence following an incident that occurred with a romantic partner on July 7. The couple began arguing after flying into Fort Lauderdale Airport, the NFL Network reported, citing a police report. The woman claimed that Judkins was seemingly upset over text messages that he received from family members while the pair was waiting for their luggage at baggage claim. The police report did not detail what was said in the text messages, but the woman told law enforcement that she was attempting to dispel whatever was said in the messages. After getting in their rental car outside the airport, the woman claimed that the argument turned physical. "The victim stated that the defendant then punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist," the police report read, noting that the woman still had visible bruising on her chin area. The argument continued in the vehicle, and according to the report, the woman at one point sat in the back of the car. "The victim stated that the defendant turned around while he was driving and struck her additional times in the left arm and leg," the report stated, noting additional bruising in those areas. The woman contacted the police days later on July 12, telling law enforcement that she did not report the alleged incident immediately because she "felt bad due to the recent success and career of the defendant." Judkins was released on Sunday after he posted a $2,500 bond. The judge ordered the NFL player not to be in contact with the alleged victim and have no access to firearms. A Browns spokesman said the team is aware of the incident and gathering more information. Fox News Digital reached out to Judkins' reps for comment.
