#BREAKING Val Verde Co. to form coalition w/other border counties/cities to sue @POTUS “for failure to enforce the laws of the Constitution of the United States & failure to abide by his oath of office” & failure to protect/defend border. Vote was unanimous among commissioners.
Val Verde Co. Commissioner Nettleton says he blames Congress and the President— Saying, “Enough is enough.” #BorderCrisis
Val Verde Co. Judge Owens says they are going through a difficult time— Here’s the unanimous vote.
I have been asked several times why isn’t Mexico doing anything…
Here is how the chamber of commerce president of Acuña explained it to me: No one going through Mexico has ANY intention of staying— Migrants are just passing through… 1/3
2/3… The Mexican government is angry that all of this falls on them because people are in pursuit of the American Dream. The chamber of commerce president of Acuña tells me at one point, the city had thousands of people in a park after the U.S. closed the crossing…
3/3… He tells me when migrants hoping to get into the U.S. learned they faced deportation— 3,000+ migrants, mostly Haitians streamed into the city and took shelter in homes, disrupting Acuña for days because they wanted to get across and thought they could wait it out. #DelRio
How do “credible” news sources keep getting it wrong? 😑
“Haitians, in particular, are granted asylum at the lowest rate of any nationality w/consistently high numbers of asylum seekers, according to an analysis of data by The @AP”
My source in Mexico says these immigrants developed a method tethering a rope to travel across the Rio Grande— Law enforcement say it’s the same group of individuals that have been at the International bridge— they’re walking around because the weir dam (old crossing) is closed.
My source says they are going into Mexico to get provisions and coming back to the U.S. using a tethered rope as a guide across the Rio.
My source says the park on the Mexico side is gated off- they are jumping over the fence. There are hundreds of people there.
We know buses transporting immigrants are stopped in Acuña (Mexico side)— this is likely a combo of those people & ones that have already been in the US
