Charges dropped against 211 migrants who stormed border, DA appeals

[KARAH RUCKER]

YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS VIDEO CAPTURED BY THE NEW YORK POST.

MIGRANTS – BREAKING THROUGH A METAL FENCE WITH RAZOR WIRE – AND PUSHING PASSED TEXAS OFFICIALS AT THE BORDER –

SOME NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS INJURED AS MIGRANTS RUSHED THEM.

200 MIGRANTS FACED “RIOTING CHARGES” OVER THE INCIDENT –

BUT THOSE CHARGES HAVE ALL BEEN DISMISSED BY AN EL PASO COUNTY JUDGE.

THE JUDGE SAYS THE CASE WASN’T WITHIN HIS JURISDICTION – AND BECAUSE OF THAT “TECHNICALITY” – HE DROPPED THE CASE.

BUT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY PURSUING THE CHARGES SAYS HE IS GOING TO APPEAL THE JUDGE’S DECISION.

“Our office feels very strongly that the procedure was proper, the district clerks…the procedure was appropriate and proper.”

SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH THE 200 MIGRANTS INVOLVED IN THE CASES?

THE D-A SAYS THEY’LL BE RELEASED TO “FEDERAL CUSTODY” WITH “CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION.”

FROM THERE –

THEY’LL BE PROCESSED – WHERE SOME MAY SEEK ASYLUM AND THEN GET RELEASED INTO THE U.S.

THE DA SAYS SOME MAY BE DEPORTED – AND SOME MAY NOT.

THE D-A SAYS **IF HIS OFFICE WINS THE APPEAL AND THE CHARGES CAN MOVE FORWARD –

THEN THEY WILL ISSUE ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE HUNDREDS INVOLVED.
