- 这是特朗普政府首次对反法西斯主义（antifa）组织提起恐怖主义指控
- 一名被告的律师表示有意提起上诉
华盛顿，3月13日（路透社）——美国司法部表示，周五（3月13日），一个陪审团裁定九人因去年在得克萨斯州美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）拘留中心参与枪击事件而有罪。
据当地媒体报道，九名被告中有八人被认定犯有向恐怖分子提供物质支持、暴动、合谋使用和携带爆炸物以及在暴动中使用爆炸物等罪名。

此次定罪是在得克萨斯州经过12天审判后作出的。
被告被指控于去年7月4日在得克萨斯州阿尔瓦拉多市移民设施内对一名警察进行非致命枪击。
当局称，实施袭击时，被告们身着黑色”军事风格”服装，头戴和面部覆盖物，特朗普政府将他们描述为反法西斯运动成员，该运动去年被唐纳德·特朗普总统认定为国内恐怖组织。
此案是联邦检察官首次对反法西斯主义（antifa）提起恐怖主义指控，这是一个基本无组织的极左翼运动，其追随者广泛致力于对抗他们认为是威权主义或种族主义的人。
定罪后，美国司法部长帕姆·邦迪表示，这不会是特朗普政府时期此类案件的最后一起。
ICE主任托德·M·莱昂斯对这一判决表示欢迎，称被告在夏季发动的袭击性质暴力，是反法西斯恐怖分子”抗议”的”可憎方式”。
被告包括卡梅伦·阿诺德、扎卡里·埃维茨、本杰明·宋、萨凡纳·巴顿、布拉德福德·莫里斯、马里塞拉·鲁埃达、伊丽莎白·索托、伊内斯·索托和丹尼尔·罗兰多·桑切斯-埃斯特拉达。
九名被告中的八名律师未立即回应置评请求。
“我们感谢陪审团能够看穿政府关于反法西斯组织’伏击’的煽动性叙事，”本案主犯阿诺德的律师科迪·科弗表示。
“我们担心，我们的当事人因暴动及相关罪名被判定有罪，是由于审议期间的妥协或未能考虑当事人的个人行为。”
科弗表示有意对本案提起上诉。

Summary
- Case was first time Trump administration filed terrorism charges targeting antifa
- Lawyer for one of the defendants expresses intent to appeal
WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) – A jury convicted nine people on Friday for their involvement in a shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas last year, the Justice Department said.
Eight of the nine defendants were found guilty of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiring to use and carry explosives, and using explosives during a riot, local media reported.

The conviction followed a 12-day trial in Texas.
The defendants were charged for their roles in a non-fatal shooting of a police officer at the immigration facility on July 4 in Alvarado, Texas.
The defendants, who authorities said were dressed in black “military-style” clothing with head and face coverings when they carried out the attack on the facility, have been described the Trump administration as members of the antifa movement, which was designated a domestic terrorist organization by President Donald Trump last year.
The case was the first time federal prosecutors filed terrorism charges targeting antifa, a largely unstructured, far-left movement whose followers broadly aim to confront those they view as authoritarian or racist.
Following the conviction, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said this will not be the last case of its kind under the Trump administration.
ICE Director Todd M. Lyons welcomed the conviction, saying the summer attack by the defendants was violent in nature and “an abhorrent way for antifa terrorists to ‘protest.’”
The defendants are Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.
Lawyers for eight of the nine defendants did not immediately respond to a request for comment
“We are thankful that the jury could see through the Government’s fear mongering antifa ‘ambush’ narrative,” said Cody Cofer, a lawyer for Arnold, the lead defendant in the case.
“We are afraid that our client’s guilty verdicts for Riot and related charges resulted from a compromise during deliberations or failure to consider our client’s individual conduct.”
Cofer expressed an intent to appeal the case.
