United States v. Arnold et al
(North Texas Antifa Cell)
Second Superseding Indictment filed.
This new indictment makes a small edit to the mention of a co-conspirator (not charged in this case, likely cooperating) and adds four pages concerning forfeiture upon conviction.
The original superseding indictment named Nathan Baumann as the individual Alvarado PD gave commands to.
The second superseding indictment edits this to "a rioter."
Could be they are not 100% sure it was Baumann, as everyone was wearing "black bloc."
Or, maybe they don't want to articulate Baumann, who is uncharged, committing a crime of vandalism to govt property in a filing.
The major update is the forfeitures upon conviction for the nine charged defendants.
With this case possibly being connected to several others and maybe even to international antifa groups recently designated as Foreign Terrorist Orgs, we could see some interesting seizures occur.

The FBI Opening EC that was disclosed in a filing in United States v. Comey tells us that a highly interesting document and a key piece of the Russiagate scandal was discovered in Room 9582, FBI HQ, Washington, D.C.
"This [Counterintelligence Operational Lead, or CIOL], believed to have been missing for several years, was dated September 07, 2016, and contained certain intelligence related to the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign."
The Opening EC, dated July 21, 2025, is for a preliminary investigation into violations of 18 USC 2071—Concealment, Removal, or Mutilation Generally of Capstone and/or Government Records, and related crimes.
🧵A second superseding indictment has been filed against nine members of a North Texas Antifa cell who were already charged with rioting, attempted murder, and material support to terrorists related to an attack on an ICE detention facility last summer.
This new indictment makes a small edit to the mention of a co-conspirator (not charged in this case, likely cooperating) and adds four pages concerning forfeiture upon conviction.
Video brief here
Remember, this is the first time an Antifa group has been hit with terrorism charges, and the case could serve as a template for future cases against the violent Marxist group.
Some members have already reached plea agreements on the terrorism charge.
Defense needs more time to review discovery.
Prosecutors do not oppose.
Urge the court to set aside the Speedy Trial Act.
Cole Jr. is currently detained on the complaint.
He has not entered a plea.
When a DOJ/FBI/IC document starts a sentence with "Moreover," pay attention to what comes next.
"This CIOL, believed to have been missing for several years, was dated September 07, 2016 and contained certain intelligence related to the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign."
"The CIOL was found in a storage closet adjacent to the Director’s office and was subsequently transported to the 9582 SCIF. Former Director Comey previously testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he was unfamiliar with this CIOL as well as its related intelligence."
