Prison inmates manufacturing razor wire used at the Texas border
SUMMARY: Inmates in a minimum-security prison unit in East Texas are manufacturing miles of razor wire along the Rio Grande using equipment purchased with funds from Operation Lone Star. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice authorized the purchase of nearly $1.1 million worth of equipment to make concertina razor wire and barbed wire just weeks before Governor Greg Abbott launched his border security initiative. The prison system already produces security wiring for its own facilities, but the new machinery allows them to expand production to the Texas border. The use of razor wire has raised humanitarian concerns as migrants have been injured by it. Governor Abbott blames the Biden administration for not taking more aggressive action to address unlawful immigration.

Rafah is a dusty, rubble-strewn ghost town 2 months after Israel invaded to root out Hamas – KXAN Austin
SUMMARY: Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, has become a deserted, war-ravaged area following a two-month Israeli military invasion targeting Hamas, their final stronghold in Gaza. Abandoned buildings and rubble dominate the landscape, with few civilians remaining. Israel alleges that Hamas turned civilian areas into combat zones, creating deadly traps. Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians fled to Rafah, now reduced to around 50,000 under dire conditions in a “humanitarian area.” Aid efforts are stalled, with dangerous routes and limited access to resources. The humanitarian crisis worsens as Israel pushes forward its offensive, despite significant challenges in aid delivery and civilian survival.

Beryl bears down on Texas, where it is expected to hit after regaining hurricane strength – KXAN Austin
