"Judge Abruptly Exits Trial of Arizona Rancher Accused of Shooting Migrants"
The judge in the trial of Arizona rancher George Kelly walked out of the courtroom, accusing lawyers on both sides of dragging out proceedings. Kelly is accused of shooting and killing a migrant crossing illegally near his cattle ranch in 2023. His defense argues the lack of gun residue suggests the shots could have come from someone else. The case comes amid heightened scrutiny on border security and immigration, with a federal bipartisan immigration reform bill recently killed in early February.
