At least 40 of the more than 200 migrants who were previously accused of causing a riot at the boundary wall on March 21 in El Paso are being charged, according to the district attorney’s office.
In connection with the incident, the DA’s office on Monday filed criminal mob participation charges against 36 people, including Yoser Duan Patino, Sebastian Johan Tarazola, and Yoser Duan Alcala. As the DA has decided to move forward with those trials, related charges were filed against another person on Sunday.
In front of Gate 36, a big group of asylum seekers and people of the Texas Army National Guard engaged in a heated argument. A picture of migrants breaking through military ‘ lines and tearing down razor wire went viral online. A migratory stomped his thigh, which caused injury for one lieutenant.
220 of the more than 400 refugees who entered Texas were taken to the El Paso DA’s office for trial, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Last year, district attorney Bill D. Hicks announced that two others are being sought and that seven are in custody and charged with criminal state charges.
In contrast, more than 200 migrants were booked on mob membership, a class B misdemeanor charge. ” We’ll have to review those cases and we’ll look at them on a case- by- case basis, and I do n’t know that we’re going to prosecute everyone”, Hicks said last Tuesday. ” I do n’t know. However, I am aware that we must convey the message that house death and violence are not to be tolerated.
Many of the workers are still detained in El Paso County. Almost 40 more people consented to their relationship receiving being waved so they could stay in touch with a public defender, and a prison court earlier permitted some people to publish specific custody bonds.
Hicks claimed that those who were released on PR bonds most probably went into Border Patrol guardianship for their treatment because they entered the country illegally between ports of entry.
