Judge releases illegals who charged through El Paso border fence 'on their own recognizance': Is there anything an illegal migrant can do that will get him thrown in jail?

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.

And they get released without bond on their “own recognizance?”

Yup, with an amnesty court hearing 2-10 years away. We're being played by some very desperate communist democrats.
