Texas judge rules apprehension of illegal immigrant by soldiers during Gov Greg Abbott's 'Operation Lone Star' along Rio Grande was UNCONSTITUTIONAL, opening floodgates for claims from others arrested
 [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - Operation Lone Star was created by Abbott amidst a wave of illegal immigrants from Honduras and El Salvador crossing the US-Mexico border
- Judge Jan Soifer ruled in favor of Jesus Alberto Guzman Curipoma, an Ecuadorian engineer arrested in September and charged with trespassing
- Angelica Cogliano, Curipoma's lawyer, said that Operation Lone Star was unconstitutional because it tries to supersede federal immigration law
- She added that Curipoma was jailed rather than being considered for asylum, which is within his right
- Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, acting on behalf of the state, actually agreed with the argument that Operation Lone Star violates federal law
- David A. Schulman filed on behalf of the state in Kinney County, where he argued the case should be heard, because that's where Curipoma was arrested
