"Texas Mayor Fact-Checks Trump's False Claims on Border Languages"

The mayor of Laredo, Texas, rejected Donald Trump's claims that people crossing the southern border are coming from prisons, mental asylums, and are terrorists, stating that it does not reflect the reality of the border city. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden visited the southern border and urged Republicans to support a bipartisan bill aimed at boosting border security. Tensions over the Texas-Mexico border have escalated, with the Supreme Court ruling on the removal of razor wire and Texas Governor Greg Abbott invoking the state's "constitutional authority to defend and protect itself" against what he called an "invasion."
