A federal judge declared a mistrial for nine alleged Antifa members charged in the ambush shooting of a police officer at a Texas ICE detention center, triggered by a defense attorney’s T-shirt depicting civil rights icons during jury selection. U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman criticized the attire, stating it was inappropriate, and planned to hold a hearing for potential sanctions against the attorney. The defendants are accused of attacking the facility on July 4, 2025, where they allegedly fired on federal officers after causing damage. Jury selection will resume with a new pool of potential jurors next Tuesday.
