Back to EpisodesProsecutors Charged Migrants with Trespassing on Military Land
Description
Federal prosecutors in border states are charging undocumented migrants with trespassing on military property, a move criticized for its lack of evidence and potential to erode trust in the justice system. Despite judges dismissing cases due to lack of guilty knowledge, prosecutors continue to refile charges, leading to a backlog and many defendants pleading guilty to secure faster release. The practice, deemed prosecutorial overreach, expands from California to Texas and faces appeals, with recent cases involving non-English speakers.
