Judge orders charges dismissed for migrants accused of trespassing on military property

Washington Post15-05-2025

A federal judge has ordered criminal charges dismissed for dozens of migrants accused of trespassing on military property after the Trump administration turned much of the southern border of New Mexico into a military zone.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory B. Wormuth found no probable cause to believe that the migrants knew they were entering a military zone and thus 'willfully' trespassed. Wormuth dismissed trespassing charges against 22 migrants who made their initial court appearances on Thursday, but they still face illegal entry charges. The judge has dismissed charges related to trespassing against more than 100 migrants so far.
