Migrant who crossed border into new Texas military zone acquitted

A Peruvian migrant charged with illegally entering a military zone after crossing the border from Mexico into Texas was acquitted in another legal blow to the Trump administration.

Adely Vanessa De La Cruz-Alvarez, 21, was detained by soldiers on May 12 after being found in a newly designated military zone and then was arrested by a Border Patrol agent. She was charged with entering the country illegally, violating national defense property, and trespassing onto a military base — all misdemeanors. U.S. Magistrate Judge Laura Enriquez found her guilty of the first count but acquitted her on the latter two.
