An estimated 425 migrants broke away from the larger group and through the wire, rushing over the Guard members at the gate before reaching another fence, according to Hicks and a video published by the New York Post. The rest of the migrants face misdemeanor rioting charges. It’s not clear how many remained at the county jail this week.
At a separate news conference Tuesday, El Paso Chief Public Defender Kelli Childress said the charges against the migrants were unfounded and that her office planned to challenge them. It was not immediately clear how many of the migrants her office is tasked with defending. More than 700 National Guard troops were dispatched to El Paso after the breach, Abbott said last week.
