Texas kept migrants imprisoned after minor charges against them were dropped, according to suit
In a federal lawsuit filed in San Antonio, civil-rights groups argue that "hundreds, if not thousands," of migrants arrested under Gov. Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star on minor property crimes have been detained in jail longer than legally allowed. The suit, filed Monday on behalf of four Mexican migrants, maintains the men were held in prison for up to six weeks after they should have been released. The individuals were kept locked up after charges against three of them were dropped and the fourth pled guilty, according to allegations in the filing.
