So not only can you invade a country, you can ignore even more of its laws as long as you say you didn't know they existed...

What a dumbass.

They KNEW they were in the US illegally. That's the whole point.

Whether you call it a "military zone" or "BigRob's Playland", the point remains the same: they're not supposed to be there.

I was crossing through the panhandle in Oklahoma once. The speed either dropped from 75 to 65, or it was 65 to 55.

I completely missed the speed limit change as it was late in the evening.

Still got a ticket.

Ignorance is no excuse.

Tell the judge that they're just going to begin shooting them on sight now, since he won't enforce the law.

Maybe he'll decide that trespassing charges aren't so bad...

Yep, probably should have voted for Kamala right? You're like the Cowboys, whatever idea you're presenting as right, the right decision is almost always opposite of what you're saying.

edit: habeas corpus is for American citizens, not illegal gangbanging thugs like the one that killed a beautiful young American in your state. Say her name Georgia.

From the article:

Chief US magistrate judge Gregory Wormuth began filing the dismissals late on Wednesday, ruling that immigrants did not know they were entering the military zone in New Mexico and therefore could not be charged, according to court documents and a defense attorney.

Assistant federal public defender Amanda Skinner said Wormuth dismissed trespassing charges against all immigrants who made initial court appearances on Thursday. The immigrants still face charges accusing them of crossing the border illegally.
And when they bring the charges of crossing illegally, this judge will just say that "immigrants did not know they were crossing the border illegally and therefore could not be charged"...

Funny, but no.


Some statutes require the law to be knowingly violated. An illegal border crossing is not one of them.!

Magistrate judge statute should be revisited as well, if we had a functioning congress. This Wormuth clown was just appointed this month by the court to a fresh 8 year term.

I think these folks should be subject to much/at least some political oversight by the Executive branch, which isn't really the case today, if they are going to be political operatives as well as the district courts, as here.

The discretion to prosecute for not comes at the prosecutor level. Once that is pursued, the judge applies the law to the circumstances. The judge doesn't get the latitude to make up the law as they wish it was, or shouldn't. That is for the legislature and the voters.

Again, the neo-Marxist left has introduced the leftist philosophy and political activist tactic of liberating tolerance into large swathes of our justice system, corrupting it from a justice system into a leftist activism network. The intent is to punish and intimidate conservatives and to visibly go easy on leftist criminals and identity groups they draw political power from in order to create social chaos, disorder, and pressure as needed and advance leftist political dominance. The participants have rationalized that leftism IS justice by definition so that whatever leftist dogma they implement is proper and justified.

And that is why they are still incarcerated facing charges for being in the US illegally, and for crossing the border illegally.

This only addressed the military zone. In a trespass case, you have to have notice that entry to a particular property (not country) is forbidden. And the property owner has to provide notice. The Judge here said the notice was inadequate.

I'm not saying it was or wasn't, but that's what the ruling was about.

Again, the judge did not throw out the illegal entry charges. Those are still pending, and will probably end in deportation

Since none of this has happened (including "rule"), We will assume this is just democratic paranoia.

The question leftists can never answer on this topic, is what would happen in any other country? They know the answer but they just can't say it because it blows up their whole outrage narrative. If you are illegally in another country for even a minute longer than allowed, they will deport you…or worse.

My wife and I overstayed our visas in Indonesia by two days because a freaking volcano erupted and closed the airports. We were required to travel to their immigration center or whatever it's called and explain to them what happened. An official from the US embassy had to be there to assist us dealing with them. Even when we had proof of our canceled departure flight and proof that we rebooked the earliest possible alternative, they still treated us VERY strictly and acted like we had done something terribly wrong. It was a little scary TBH.

Liberals always forecast the dire result of Conservative actions. The problem they have is their forecasts are never accurate because they are simply projections of what Liberals would do under the same circumstances. Liberals operate without principle, therefore have no concept how conservatives will act.

What was the statute the required knowledge of the military base incursion? Seriously curious.

Is this the statute?

Quote:

18 U.S.C. 1382 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 18. Crimes and Criminal Procedure 1382. Entering military, naval, or Coast Guard property

Whoever, within the jurisdiction of the United States, goes upon any military, naval, or Coast Guard reservation, post, fort, arsenal, yard, station, or installation, for any purpose prohibited by law or lawful regulation; or

Whoever reenters or is found within any such reservation, post, fort, arsenal, yard, station, or installation, after having been removed therefrom or ordered not to reenter by any officer or person in command or charge thereof--

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Because if it is, I don't see where notification has anything to do with it.

They entered the military installation for the purpose of entering the US illegally, which I'm quite sure is prohibited by law...

If I were to accidentally walk onto the installation, I wouldn't meet that criteria, because I'm here legally and wouldn't have trespassed for any purpose prohibited by law.
