Woke El Paso judge’s order will provoke more border mobs
Presiding Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta ruled during a bond hearing for 39 of over 200 migrants charged with “riot participation” they should be set free, following the shocking caught-on-camera rush along the Rio Grande, according to the El Paso Times.
Acosta said the reason for releasing them was because the El Paso District Attorney’s Office had not scheduled individual detention hearings for each defendant, the paper said. (NY Post)
Texas District Attorney on Tuesday raged at a judge after numerous migrants who were seen on video breaching the border were released.
El Paso District Attorney Bill Hicks criticized an order from Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta, that released migrants due to claims prosecutors were not ready to proceed with detention hearings.
Hicks explained that he spoke with the judge and wanted to avoid several hearings on Easter Sunday and his office requested a reset of those hearings, hoping to move them into the week.
He said that while the district attorney’s office was not prepared for trial, it was ready for bond hearings.
“I was very surprised on Sunday when Judge Acosta asked by assistant District Attorney if we had the cases in our office. That is completely irrelevant to whether or not we were ready to proceed on a bond hearing,” Hicks said. “We are not ready to go to trial on these cases … but that is irrelevant to being prepared for a bond hearing. We were prepared for the bond hearings.” (MSN)
