Governor Greg Abbott has announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of Benjamin Hanil Song. Song is wanted in connection with an attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, which occurred on July 4, 2025. During the incident, an Alvarado police officer was shot and wounded. The Texas Department of Public Safety has added Song to their 10 Most Wanted Fugitive List.

“The targeted attacks against our federal law enforcement officers is a crime and must end," said Governor Abbott. "Criminals such as Benjamin Hanil Song will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I encourage Texans with information to call the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline or submit an anonymous tip online. Texas is and always will be a law-and-order state."

Warrants have been issued out of Johnson County for Song’s arrest on charges including aiding terrorism, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a public servant, and engaging in organized crime. A federal arrest warrant was also issued for Song by the United States District Court in Fort Worth, Texas, charging him with attempted murder of a federal officer and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

Song is described as an Asian male, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. He should be considered armed and dangerous.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering an additional reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to his capture, bringing the total potential reward amount to $35,000.

To qualify for these rewards, individuals can provide tips through several methods: calling the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), submitting a web tip via the Texas 10 Most Wanted website or submitting an online tip. Tipsters' anonymity is protected by law regardless of how they submit their information.

Texans are advised not to attempt apprehending fugitives themselves due to safety concerns.
