More than 200 people are facing condition charges for allegedly tearing down razor wire as they reportedly pushed their way through a barrier of outnumbered Texas Army National Guard troops on Thursday, March 21, according to NewsNation companion Border Report.
According to the El Paso Times, a prosecutor in Texas ordered some immigrants who had been arrested for the rebellion to be released from jail on Sunday.
” It sends a message that you can mix our borders improperly, that you can actually abuse persons, and you’re going to be released”, Judd said.
If a federal immigration hold prevents their release, migrants without adequate documentation may remain imprisoned, the newspaper reported.
” All we have to do is wave immigration courts to our border”, Judd said. ” Wave asylum officers to our borders. Have those jury appearances right away if you cross the border illegally.
