Texas state troopers arrest thousands of migrants crossing the border. Critics call it unconstitutional.​

Ivan Nava and David Muñoz, friends from Guerrero, Mexico, crossed into the USA together in June without permission. They hoped to connect with relatives, find jobs and map out better lives for their families back in Mexico.


Instead, they sat in a Texas prison for seven weeks, unclear as to the charges against them or what awaited them.

They are two of thousands of migrants who crossed into Texas from Mexico this year without proper documentation and were rounded up as part of Operation Lone Star, Gov. Greg Abbott’s initiative to use state troopers and National Guard soldiers to help bolster federal immigration enforcement.



Tuesday, a Texas district court judge dismissed the charges of criminal trespassing against Nava and Muñoz after prosecutors were unprepared to present probable cause in the case. Advocates hailed it as a major victory against Operation Lone Star, which they allege is unconstitutional and flouts federal laws. Supporters of the policy claim it’s Abbott’s right to stop undocumented migrants from streaming into Texas if the federal government fails at the task.

"Ivan Nava and David Muñoz, friends from Guerrero, Mexico, crossed into the USA together in June without permission. Instead, they sat in a Texas prison for seven weeks, unclear as to the charges against them or what awaited them."

WTF are they unclear about? Pretty clear to me. BTW, this tells me I don't want them in this country. They do something illegal and are too fucking stupid to understand that.


Critics call it unconstitutional. All of the sudden they reference the constitution. These "critics" are liberal scum that want open borders. Maybe they should get the hell out of this country and help those trying to get in illegally in their own country if they care so much. Fuck them.

Do they need volunteers?

Remember when Jan Brewer did this in Arizona ? They screamed bloody murder about it then, too. She was only doing it because the Feds refused to uphold immigration laws.

Other than the State, what has changed ?


Nothing.

Without borders, we cease to be a Country. We are being invaded, and only those hateful, racist, flag waving, gun loving bastards on the fringes of the right wing seem to care.

Those poor people spent 7 weeks in prison. Tell me again how long the so called "insurrectionists" have spent in prison? Fuck these people and all their supporters.

Wonder what would happen if we just bus all illegals up to the northern border and tell them to keep heading North? Highlight the "free" healthcare up there.

They really should just say "The feds ruled that we can't enforce the law within 5 miles of the border. We're going to apply that to all laws. I guess it's 'the purge' down there now. Open season boys".

I bet the problem wold stop real fast, and I bet the left would suddenly gain an appreciation for "law and order".

and I bet the left would suddenly gain an appreciation for "law and order".

I doubt it.
They would continue to cherry-pick laws as they see fit, as they've been doing all along.

Just like with Rittenhouse. They ignore the criminals who were rioting and carrying weapons to go after someone who was defending themselves and others.

They called it unconstitutional. How does a citizen from another country have constitutional rights in this country?
