More than 200 migrants who broke open a fence and pushed past Texas border officials will not be facing charges in El Paso County, Texas. A judge dismissed their case on Wednesday, May 8.
Video captured by the New York Post showed the incident on March 21. Migrants were seen breaking through a metal fence with razor wire and pushing passed Texas officials at the border. Some National Guard troops were injured as migrants rushed them.
211 migrants faced rioting charges over the incident, but an El Paso County judge dismissed all of the charges. The judge said the case was not within his jurisdiction. Because of that technicality, he dropped the case.
