Over 140 Migrants Indicted in Texas Following Judge's Dismissal of Charges

A Texas grand jury has indicted more than 140 migrants on rioting charges, overturning a judge's earlier decision to dismiss the cases.

A Texas grand jury indicted 140 migrants for rioting after a judge had dismissed the charges, citing insufficient evidence.
The incident occurred when migrants allegedly breached a razor wire barrier at the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso on April 12.
Governor Greg Abbott praised the grand jury's decision, calling it an overruling of the judge's leniency.
If convicted, the indicted migrants face up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine, with potential federal charges for illegal entry.
The indictments have intensified the spotlight on Texas' stringent border enforcement measures under Governor Abbott.
