Three migrants drown in Rio Grande after Texas blocks Border Patrol from rescue
A woman and two children drowned while attempting to cross the Rio Grande near the U.S. southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection claims that agents with Operation Lone Star, a Texas border security initiative, thwarted life-saving efforts. The Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas National Guard, deployed under Operation Lone Star, have been arresting migrants on state trespassing charges. This has gained the ire of Texas Democrats and has led to lawsuits filed by the Justice Department against Texas. Governor Greg Abbott has faced criticism for his border policies and remarks, with some accusing him of political posturing rather than seeking actual solutions to border issues.
