Federal court proceedings came to an abrupt halt Tuesday when a judge in Fort Worth terminated the trial of nine defendants accused in connection with gunfire that erupted at an immigration enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas.
The mistrial declaration ends the current prosecution phase for the nine individuals who faced charges related to the shooting incident that took place outside the ICE detention center during the previous year.
Court officials have not yet announced whether prosecutors will pursue a new trial in the case.
