About 150 illegal immigrants were stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border over the weekend by Border Patrol officials and were allowed to continue on their way without a future court date or any notice, said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas).
“Over the weekend, at [the] Anzalduas area by the bridge, there were about 150 folks [who] got released under what we call ‘prosecutorial discretion,’ because Border Patrol says, ‘We just don’t have the space,’” Cuellar told Border Report on Monday. He was referring to an area near the Rio Grande in his congressional district.
