Show Notes
In a controversial move, the Trump administration designated parts of the U.S.-Mexico border as national defense areas, allowing military troops to detain unauthorized migrants. Federal prosecutors began charging border crossers with misdemeanor trespassing on military property, leading to longer jail times for some. Despite weak evidence, prosecutors push these cases, causing court dockets to clog and frustrating everyone involved. Judges have dismissed many prosecutions due to lack of evidence, and the practice continues with new zones expanding and fresh charges in South Texas. Critics call it prosecutorial overreach, while migrants plead guilty to speed up deportation.
