The Congressional Budget Office reported that more than three million foreign nationals entered the U.S. unlawfully, were released into the U.S. via parole or overstayed their visa in the country in fiscal year 2023. El Paso County Court at Law 7 Judge Ruben Morales on Monday found no probable cause from Texas Department of Public Safety state troopers to restrain the 140 migrants who were arrested earlier this month for rioting, according to the El Paso Times. The charges stemmed from an incident on April 12 when a group of migrants in El Paso’s Lower Valley cut through concertina wire at the border and then rushed into the U.S.
District Clerk
The judge’s decision does not necessarily mean these migrants cannot be charged with rioting in the future — the El Paso District Attorney’s Office will have to lodge those charges, according to the El Paso Times. Federal immigration authorities have placed detainer requests on these migrants for unlawful entry into the U.S., which means they must remain in county jail for up to two days until they are transferred into federal custody, WFXR reported. Affidavits filed by DPS state troopers were the main focus of Monday's hearing stemming from the arrest of 142 migrants on riot participation charges. Citizens can be assured that Steve will protect their democratic right to vote and reinforce the commitment of the Clerk’s Office to conduct transparent, accurate, fair, and secure elections.

A county judge dismissed 140 cases against migrants charged with rioting at the U.S. southern border, finding there was no reason to arrest them. However, all 140 migrants are still facing federal charges of illegal entry into the U.S. and will be turned over to federal custody. "After reviewing the affidavit, I don't believe that (probable cause) exists," Morales said during the hearing. "I don't believe there is probable cause for these individuals to continue to be detained for the offense of riot participation."
