Adely Vanessa De La Cruz-Alvarez, 21, was arrested last month near the West Texas town of Tornillo after she entered the U.S. from Mexico by walking across the riverbed of the Rio Grande, court documents show.

In addition to being charged with entering the country illegally, she was charged with accessing a military zone. She is among several other immigrants who have been charged under the law since President Donald Trump’s administration transferred oversight of a strip of land along the border to the military. It is as part of a new approach the Department of Justice is taking to crack down on illegal immigration.

“Hopefully, this sets the tone for the federal government,” Lerma (De La Cruz-Alvarez’s attorney) said, “so they know what the El Paso community will do with these charges.”

Lerma was convicted of entering the country illegally and was already facing deportation, but could have faced up to 18 months in prison for entering the militarized zone.

Was about to be deported, anyway. But the "they are welfare queens" screamers tried to force food and housing (although very poor) on her at the expense of taxpayers.

And the taxpayers are the people not making $1,000,000 per year. The ultra rich aren't paying taxes.

Republican America, where State's Rights means transferring state land to the federal military.

Small federal government where they're winning, states rights where they're losing

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They claim small government, even where they win, it is not. See Texas, Alabama, Florida...

All that wasted time and money for this made up case to go nowhere. At least sending Trump bibles to kids would give them toilet paper or kindling.

Yup, all the people who only care about seeing a "mission accomplished" sign, but not about if it was actually done.
