60 convicted of trespassing on new border military zone

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says it has secured 60 convictions against migrants who set foot in the new National Defense Area in El Paso.

The convictions came through guilty pleas entered in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The 60-foot-wide NDA running from the Texas-New Mexico state line through El Paso County near Fort Hancock, Texas, is considered an extension of Fort Bliss.

“Beginning in early May, additional criminal charges were filed against individuals who illegally entered or were found illegally in the United States and who had illegally entered the National Defense Area,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement Tuesday. “As of May 19, 60 defendants had pleaded guilty and were convicted of these charges.”

The announcement comes days after local news media reported that a U.S. magistrate judge in El Paso dismissed 12 similar cases due to lack of probable cause and prosecutors withdrew three more cases after determining migrants were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol outside the NDA.

We need to take a Sheriff Arpaio stance and put them in tents and feed them bologna sammiches. AND give them hard labor to pay for it.

I took classes with a guy who led an Air Force security team and he’d tell stories about anti-nuclear, drunks, etc. coming to the gate and they had a solid white line & they’d tell them if they crossed it, they’d be under arrest. He said normally, they’d hold for a couple hours but if they got a jerk, they could keep them indefinitely.

How long before a judge rules that the NDA is unconstitutional?

Due process means keeping them in the country for 25 to 30 years, no?
