At least seven people died and another six were injured after they were run over by a guy in front of a homeless shelter in Brownsville, Texaswhich also serves as a center for immigrants.
After the fatal event, the Brownsville Police, border city with Mexicois investigating whether it is an intentional attack.
For his part, the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident was prevented from leaving the place by the witnesses of the accident until the authorities arrived, who took him into custody.
The wounded are still being counted, as explained by Lieutenant martin sandoval to the local channel KRGV, since some of them were transferred in ambulances.
The lieutenant also explained that the center is a shelter for the homeless, but, at this time, due to the immigration crisis that the border is experiencing, it’s full of immigrants.
The region is facing an unprecedented migratory flow, with more than 2.76 million undocumented immigrants intercepted by the United States on the border with Mexico in fiscal year 2022.
This situation has worsened with the approaching end of the Title 42 in the United States, a measure adopted by former Republican President Donald Trump (2017-2021) and later continued by Democratic President Joe Biden to expel migrants on the grounds of the COVID-19 pandemic.
