60 Illegal Aliens Convicted for Illegally Entering Trump’s National Defense Area in Texas—
U.S. federal prosecutors successfully convicted 60 illegal aliens in Texas after they pleaded guilty to the newly applied charges. The convictions and sentences were handed down after a setback in the effort to prosecute illegal aliens for trespassing into a newly created National Defense Area in New Mexico earlier this month.
According to the United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas, the sixty criminal cases date from May 19. As reported by Breitbart Texas, in mid-May, U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge Gregory Wormuth in Las Cruces, New Mexico, dismissed 100 federal criminal cases involving trespassing charges against nearly 100 illegal aliens arrested for crossing into the newly designated National Defense Area in New Mexico. Wormuth ruled on behalf of the illegal aliens, citing probable cause issues as the reason for the dismissals.
