San Diego Overwhelmed as Migrants Mass-Released into City

Border patrol agents released over 350 migrants at a San Diego bus stop after the closure of a shelter due to lack of funding, leaving them to fend for themselves on the street. Aid groups attempted to help by providing makeshift facilities and rides to the airport, but the situation highlighted the strain on resources as up to 1,500 migrants flood in per day. Meanwhile, tensions between the Biden administration and Texas Governor Greg Abbott escalate as Texas plans to construct a military base to combat the influx of migrants at the southern border.

Tragedy at the Texas Border: 3 Migrants Drown Crossing the Rio Grande

A mother and her two children drowned while attempting to cross the Rio Grande from Mexico to the U.S., sparking a conflict between the Biden administration and Texas Governor Greg Abbott over border policies. The federal government claims that Texas soldiers blocked Border Patrol officers from reaching the distressed migrants, while Texas authorities dispute this, stating that the drownings had already occurred when access was requested. The incident has intensified the political battle over border security and illegal immigration, with Texas's aggressive crackdown drawing criticism and legal challenges, and Republicans pushing for major changes in immigration policy.
