A large group of migrants, including children, crossed into US after Mexican immigration used bulldozers and force to move them from encampment by the river that’s been established for over a year.

They’ve been stuck in river for about 12 hours and remain without food or water.

BREAKING: Henry Kissinger — who as a top American foreign policy official oversaw, overlooked and at times actively perpetrated some of the most grotesque war crimes the United States and its allies have committed — died Wednesday. He was 100 years old. https://t.co/psVQ1Sk93W

HB4 would allow TX peace officers to use separation as state-sanctioned violence to separate undocumented people from their families and drop them at a port of entry--going further than the Trump Admin did in 2018 by removing people from the country without due process!#TXLege

The high risk of kidnapping and rape in two Mexican border cities is a factor pushing migrants to cross illegally, advocates tell @Reuters. Cartels there kidnap migrants for ransom, particularly those without smugglers' protection, security analysts say https://t.co/eD1QdF9y0p

[USCIS @USCIS]

If you were paroled into the U.S. through the processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, then you can apply for a work permit. You can begin the application process by creating a USCIS online account and filing Form-I-765 online. https://t.co/xHZXkmitym

We applaud @DHSGov tonight for re-designating Temporary Protected Status for Venezuela. This vital decision will allow Venezuelan migrants here as of 7/31/2023 to apply for work permits and obtain some stability as they go through the asylum process.

The State of Texas now shines a huge light directly into the Matamoros encampment every night AND they play the recordings. No one is sleeping inside of the Matamoros encampment.
