A lawsuit filed Wednesday is asking a federal court to shut down Texas’ system of arresting migrants en masse along the Texas-Mexico border, and make the state pay more than $5 million to men who were illegally imprisoned under the system.
. Wednesday’s filing also alleges men have been held for days or weeks after they post bond, their charge is dropped or their sentence is complete.
Abbott has previously defended the trespassing initiative as “fully constitutional” and a way to counter a sharp rise in illegal immigration that he blames on President Joe Biden. Through February, more than 2,800 men were arrested only for allegedly trespassing on private property —. The large majority of trespassing arrests have occurred in only two border counties where DPS troopers got consent from some local landowners to arrest men on their property.
