A federal judge is dismissing charges against 11 people arrested during raids at five ropa usada warehouses in McAllen. Federal agents arrested 31 people during raids on October 2nd.
A U.S. magistrate judge ruled Friday that the government was stretching the use of the word application to charge the defendants with fraud and misuse of visas.
Friday’s decision came after the judge dismissed charges against three other defendants earlier in the week.
