Dozens of migrants have been convicted for trespassing into a newly-declared military zone along the southern border in Texas even though a judge recently dismissed several such charges elsewhere.
According to Border Report, the 60 convictions follow guilty pleas entered in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. "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," said the U.S. Attorney's Office for the region, led by Acting U.S. Attorney Margaret Leachman.
