El Salvador offers to accept deportees from US of any nationality, including Americans: Rubio
SUMMARY: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has agreed to accept deportees from the U.S., including violent criminals. This unprecedented migratory deal allows El Salvador to jail convicted criminals of any nationality, helping alleviate overcrowded U.S. prisons. Bukele confirmed the offer on X, stating it could make El Salvador’s prison system sustainable through fees. While the Trump administration has no immediate plans to deport U.S. citizens, the potential agreement raises concerns among human rights activists. Rubio’s visit is part of a regional tour to address migration amid ongoing U.S. foreign assistance changes.

Unwanted donation bins spark concerns in Houston
SUMMARY: Our investigative team has found that many used clothing donation boxes are not sending items to legitimate charities. A significant issue involves fraudulent paperwork regarding their placement. Investigator Joel Eisenbock highlights a case at a Houston restaurant where a manager claimed her signature on the permit was forged. Similarly, a Burger King manager also reported not authorizing a donation box on their property. It’s advised that anyone encountering these unauthorized donation bins should call 311 for assistance and can contact local news investigators for further support.

Texas National Guard allowed to make immigration arrests
SUMMARY: The Texas National Guard can now arrest and detain individuals entering the U.S. illegally, following a new agreement between Governor Greg Abbott and the Trump administration. This change marks a departure from the longstanding separation of military and civilian law enforcement. The joint memorandum allows the National Guard to enforce federal immigration laws while remaining under state control. This shift comes amid frustrations with federal border enforcement and follows the 2021 launch of Operation Lone Star. Legal experts note that while this agreement is significant, its long-term implications and legality may face challenges, as the National Guard is typically deployed for shorter periods.
A deal between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and President Donald Trump’s administrations will allow the Texas National Guard to make immigration arrests. FOX 4’s Amelia Jones talked to a constitutional attorney about the change.
