A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass on Friday night as they were attempting to cross the U.S. southern border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection told TPR that Border Patrol was prevented from deploying lifesaving efforts by agents with Operation Lone Star, the controversial Texas border security initiative.
"We remain gravely concerned by actions that prevent the U.S. Border Patrol from performing their essential missions of arresting individuals who enter the United States unlawfully and providing humanitarian response to individuals in need,” a CBP spokesperson said. “We are saddened by the tragic migrant drownings in Eagle Pass."
Under the direction of Gov. Greg Abbott, Operation Lone Star this week seized control of Eagle Pass' Shelby Park, which faces the Rio Grande and has denied access to the Border Patrol.

John Walker: What, aren't you two going to wish me a nice day?
(Kate and Yelena glare at U.S. Agent)
Kate Bishop (ticking off each point with a finger): You called me "the Discount Hawkeye" over a dozen times since we got introduced to each other. You told Yelena to her face that you can't trust her to lead the Thunderbolts because as a woman she's, and I quote, "too emotional to make good decisions". You insinuated to Sam Wilson the only reason he became Captain America was that Steve Rogers took pity on him. You gave an unauthorized interview with the Daily Bugle that you believe in Mysterio and threatened to arrest Spider-Man yourself. And you blatantly said in front of Princess Shuri and Namor that Wakanda and Talokan didn't deserve to have vibranium and that it should go to more deserving countries…
Yelena Belova: We don't care if you have a pulse, much less a nice day.
In the DisneyPlus streaming series, “SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW”, the MCU finally got rid of the problematic Sokovia Accords when attorney Matt Murdock aka Daredevil revealed the Accords had finally been repealed. Considering my six-year criticism of how the MCU had introduced this legislation in “CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR” (one of my least favorite MCU films), utilized it in productions like “AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.”, “ANT-MAN & THE WASP”, “THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR”, “WANDAVISION” and “THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER”; I was very happy to learn this about the Accords’ fate.
However . . . I find myself questioning Disney and Marvel Films’ latest decision regarding the Sokovia Accords. I have problems with its repeal or eradication. I have a problem with how Disney/Marvel Films got rid of it - via a throwaway line. For years, MCU showrunner Kevin Feige tried to tell us that there were two sides to the Sokovia Accords. I had called bullshit to that idea due to my belief that the Accords violated the U.S. Constitutional and the constitutional rights of enhanced people overall and not just the Avengers.
I had hoped that the MCU would get rid of the Accords by exploring the issue of how the Accords violated the rights of many. But the franchise never did this. Instead, the MCU rid itself of the Accords with a quick line - one that would enable the franchise to avoid discussing how WRONG the Accords were in the first place. All I can say is . . . Feige and the Disney suits are a bunch of cowards.
Multiple U.S. Secret Service agents connected to former President Donald Trump's security detail have been subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The subpoenas are part of Smith's investigation into Trump's handling of classified information at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House.
If it weren’t for U.S. Agent and Ghost, the MCU Thunderbolts could easily be the MCU Winter Guard. Half the team are Russians, and then you have Bucky Barnes who served the Soviets as the Winter Soldier.
