McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — In this episode of Border Report Live, correspondents Julian Resendiz and Sandra Sanchez and host Rudy Mireles discuss Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s reason for painting a segment of border wall black during her visit to Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
Noem said painting the border wall black will make it hotter and more difficult for migrants to illegally cross, something human rights groups are criticizing.
Plus, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she was not informed about the DEA’s launch of Gatekeeper and Mexico’s participation in what the United States is calling a binational collaboration.
In Texas, over 50 massage parlors have had licenses revoked and investigations launched into what the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation alleges are human and sex trafficking operations.
