Is there anything an illegal migrant can do that will get him thrown in jail?
Not to an El Paso judge, who just released a group of migrants who last March 21 ripped away razor wire fencing to storm the U.S. border, literally invading the U.S. the way pirates or burglars do, 'on their own recognizance.'
Along the way, they tore down U.S. razor-wire fencing barriers and assaulted U.S. National Guard members.
But none of that was good enough to insist that they remain detained.
According to the Daily Wire:
On Easter Sunday a magistrate judge in El Paso, Texas, ordered the release of migrants who were charged with rioting after a large group stormed the border, tearing down razor wire and clashing with members of the Texas National Guard in the process.
Presiding Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta delivered the ruling after accusing the El Paso District Attorney’s office of failing to prepare properly and thus not being ready and “not being ready to proceed with detention hearings for each defendant,” The El Paso Times reported on Sunday.
“It is the ruling of the court is that all the rioting participation cases will be released on their own recognizance,” Acosta said, but court officials did confirm that any defendants who were subject to previously-ordered federal immigration holds would not be released under that order.
The judge denied the prosecution's plea for more time to prepare their cases against the thugs, and then berated them for not being properly prepared with the charges.
Which sounds like he really just wanted to let them in, violent or not. A Google search on this guy shows that he has a history of repeatedly dismissing criminals en masse into the community based on what he claims are prosecutorial errors.

never crossed my mind
Maybe “spitting on a sidewalk” would do it!!
Okay smartass, what’s your brilliant suggestion to alleviate this problem? Perhaps if people paid as much attention to whom they vote for as they do with the going’s on of Bradjolina?
Just out of curiosity, is Humberto Acosta in this country legally? I mean really legally, not here because of an executive order that overrides the actual laws we have about immigration.
Federal Magistrates - definitely the bell curve in action for that job. My attorney said that there are some truly good ones - and likewise, there are some truly bad ones as in how-did-they-get-the-job bad.
Send thousands of criminal Illegals to this Judge’s town ASAP.
Al long as China Joe and his cabal ate dictating policy, the simple answer is no.
Where, oh where, is Judge Roy Bean when you need ‘im?
Then local conservatives need to find out where this POS judge lives and harass him like the migrants did to the Border Patrol. They can’t be arrested or charged with a crime for doing so because that would be hypocritical.
Vote for a Republican.
Never mind that, send them to his home and tell them he said they could stay there indefinitely. Drop a busload there every day.
[[Is there anything an illegal migrant can do that will get him thrown in jail?]]
Yes, they can become a legal citizens, and become a republican- then and only then will they be jailed or imprisoned
Vote conservative.
Wait. Let me get this straight. We don’t know who these people are. Never seen them before. All here illegally, after forcibly breaching the border. And they get released without bond on their “own recognizance?”
“”Is there anything an illegal migrant can do that will get him thrown in jail?””
Sure.... Vote, donate, or campaign for President Trump.
You mean besides voting for a republican?
Ahhh, you beat me to it, and I thought I had one all to myself there.
Pretty soon, if we don't do our jobs to save America they won't be 'vacant' homes they're invading.
We're citizens, and if citizenship no longer matters then the franchise is over and all bets are off. Whoa to the govt when that happens.
Huh? They've been divorced since 2016. There's no more BranJolina.
