A Texas judge has dismissed the chance of holding a criminal trial against dozens of migrants who rushed border gates earlier this year, telling prosecutors and public defenders that he didn't have jurisdiction over the cases because they weren't properly filed, according to Border Report.
According to the outlet, this is not the first time this argument is used for such dismissals against foreign nationals who allegedly cut the razor wire at the southern border. The decision means that 59 immigrants will be released from jail.
