An El Paso magistrate judge has ordered the release of illegal aliens who were detained in connection with a border entry point riot that overwhelmed Texas National Guard troops.
According to a report from the El Paso Times, the Easter Sunday order was handed down by Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta during an online teleconference bond hearing. The judge accused the El Paso District Attorney’s office of not being ready to proceed with detention hearings for each defendant.
It is the ruling of the court that all the rioting participation cases will be released on their own recognizance,” Acosta ruled.
