A county judge in Texas found no probable cause to continue holding in jail some 140 migrants who had been apprehended and charged with rioting for storming a border crossing.

Concretely, judge Ruben Morales said the arrest affidavits from Border Patrol didn't show probable cause that all people named in the documents took part in the incident, according to Border Report.
