Migrants sat in state prisons for weeks or months after being arrested without being appointed lawyers or seeing a judge.to decide if he was being wrongfully detained and to toss out his trespassing charge.

GregAbbott_TX ,GovAbbott Abbott's Lie's Greggy boy has been lying since 2015, gaslighting, grifting it's the Abbott way

Can’t be arrested if you aren’t illegally crossing a sovereign border. Stay home, stay out of jail.

How about report on what’s going on in El Paso right today!

“Rule of law only apply to people born here……not the ones who come here”…..Gov QAbbott

Well, Abbott got reelected so I'm sure he thinks the 'Operation' is a big success

Why don’t you lead with why our court systems are inundated with illegal immigrants? Close the border!

Why get in a big hurry to release them? Abbott and his fellow CON men in his sham govt are charging taxpayers out the A*S to keep them locked up for a misdemeanor. This was the plan the entire time so they could steal 100s of millions of tax-payer money.

If they are illegal, they are illegal migrants not migrants, you calling them that doesnt make it so. They are tresspassing, literally, not allegedly! Who the eff wrote this article? Non-partisan my ass.

If they are in tgebcountry unlawfully, then it should be pretty easy to apply trespassing charges since the federal government has practically abdicated its responsibilities.

If you are writing articles like this, may be you should spend time for things like this too..
