A self-described anti-fascist has testified that she helped an alleged Antifa shooter evade capture after a police shooting at a Texas immigration facility in 2025.

Lynette Sharp took the stand as a cooperating government witness on March 4, during the second week of what is expected to be a three-week trial. The landmark case marks the first time alleged members of the far-left Antifa extremist group have been charged with terrorism-related offenses.
