[Breitbart] Whether Title 42 ends or not, migrants say they are tired of waiting and surged across the Rio Grande into the Eagle Pass, Texas, area of operations. As many as 3,600 crossed so far this weekend — eclipsing last weekend’s total of just over 2,800 migrant apprehensions in the Del Rio Sector — according to a source operating within U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Border Patrol officials called in all available agents in Eagle Pass on Sunday as increasing numbers of migrants crossed the border illegally from Mexico into Texas. Sunday evening, a large group of more than 250 migrants crossed near Normandy, Texas, while others streamed across into Eagle Pass.
Another group of approximately 300 migrants are crossing the border as this article published. And at a nearby hydro plant, agents found another large group of 100 migrants. That brings the total to more than 700 migrant apprehensions in a couple of hours on Sunday evening.
Agents identified most of the migrants crossing on Sunday evening as Honduran nationals. Some Colombian migrants also crossed.
Another source told Breitbart dozens of migrants have been waiting for hours for transportation as the Eagle Pass Station focuses its attention on large group crossings in more public areas. National Guard soldiers operating under Texas’ Operation Lone Star also are available to detain migrants until transportation eventually arrives.
On May 17, Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted that agents under his command apprehended 2,849 migrants last weekend, Breitbart Texas reported. That number will be eclipsed as it appears the total could approach 4,000 this weekend.
The migrants did not appear to know or understand that the Title 42 will not end on Monday due to a federal court order. They expressed they were simply tired of waiting.
The source stated resources were not available to transport migrants from the border to the processing station. It also appears the NGOs who regularly shelter the migrants are overloaded as migrants are reportedly being dropped off at an Eagle Pass Stripes convenience store.
The crossings are not without danger. On Saturday, seven migrants were swept off their feet in the middle of the night forcing Border Patrol agents to jump into action to save their lives, Breitbart Texas reported.
BORSTAR agents utilized a throw bag, a water rescue board, and a personal flotation device to successfully all seven migrants in the darkness of night, Chief Owens stated.
Not all migrants are as lucky as these seven. Earlier this week, Breitbart Texas reported that Del Rio Sector agents recovered the bodies of three migrants. Two of the migrants drowned and agents found the third on a ranch near Uvalde, Texas.
Between April 1 and May 15 approximately 513,000 migrants illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico. The number reflects apprehensions cited in the April Southwest Border Migration Report and unofficial numbers obtained from a law enforcement source within CBP.

Interesting photos at the link. I realize that I am decidedly upper middle class, but when the trailing daughters were still in the diaper/pre-school stage, I never went out without a large bag containing a full change of clothes, sweaters or jackets and hats, wipes, diapers and changing pad, a few cloth diapers — terribly useful things, cloth diapers — snacks and drinks, toys and books, crayons and paper, extra pacifier... I am shocked to see a mother carrying a child on a long road trip without even a backpack or plastic grocery bag holding a few necessities. It’s enough to make one wonder if that infant is really hers.
Not really news to our readers, but it’s nice that the report is finally issued less than a year later.
[Dawn] Many soldiers of the former Afghan government fled to Pakistain after the fall of Kabul, says an official US report while pointing out that the fall of border crossings into Pakistain and Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... also contributed to the collapse of the former Afghan government.
The office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction reported this week that in July 2021, the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... "started seizing border crossings with Pakistain and Iran, depriving the Afghan government of critical customs revenues".
The report noted that Afghan soldiers started crossing into Pakistain weeks before Kabul fell to the Taliban in August 2021.
"Many Afghan soldiers reportedly escaped to Pakistain as the Taliban attacks on districts and scenic provincial capitals intensified weeks before the Afghan government’s collapse," the report added.
The UN refugee agency UNHCR reported early this year that more than 300,000 Afghans had fled to Pakistain between August 2021 and January 2022. But it did not say how many of those were from the military.
On July 26, 2021, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named news agency reported that 46 members of the Afghan forces, including five officers, crossed into Chitral.
[ToloNews] TOLOnews and other TV channels in Kabul on Sunday followed an order of the Ministry of Vice and Virtue regarding covering female presenters’ faces.
The Ministry of Vice and Virtue named Sunday morning as the final deadline, calling this order mandatory.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... on Twitter TOLOnews stated it maintained there was no clear indication regarding covering female presenters' faces on TV programs in the recent decree about Hijab by the Islamic Emirate’s leadership.
It should be noted that when the Taliban say Hijab they don’t mean merely the hair-covering scarf, but rather their entire concept of female modesty, ie. only eyes showing...or less. What is being demanded here is adding the niqab, the flap of cloth covering from the bridge of the nose to the chest. What will shortly be demanded is a return to purdah, where only immediate male relatives ever see females, and then only within the home.
In addition, TOLOnews said it "considers images of female presenters on TV as virtual and not the actual presence of women, and therefore stands on its position regarding this matter."
The male presenters of TOLOnews in solidarity with female presenters appeared on air wearing masks.
TOLOnews’ Director, Khpolwak Sapai said that the Ministry of Vice and Virtue named Sunday as the final deadline.
"We have been told to implement this (decision) by the stated time and we did it today. But our arguments are twofold: first, that there was no clear indication regarding covering female presenters' faces on TV programs in the recent decree about Hijab by the Islamic Emirate’s leadership. Second, the images of female presenters on TV are virtual and not the actual presence of women, and therefore TOLOnews stands on its position regarding this matter," Sapai said.
"I can’t breathe nor talk properly -- how will I be able to run the program?" said Khatira Ahmadi, a female presenter of TOLOnews.
"We were not ready mentally and morally that such things would be forced on us. Running three hours of programs with a mask is very difficult," said Sonia Nizai, a female anchor of TOLOnews.
After the Islamic Emirate swept into power, the current Afghan government issued repeated statements regarding women including; closing girls' schools, banning women from going to work, the segregation of male and female student’s studying days in universities, banning women from traveling, as well as the dissolution of women-supporting organizations.
"Unfortunately, the imposed sanctions on Afghan women affects our county," said Suraya Paikan, a political analyst.
The Ministry of Vice and Virtue said the observation of Hijab is mandatory.
"This is not our word, it is an order of God. Covering the face is a part of Hijab. But if the face is not covered, we cannot say it is not absolute observation of Hijab, but it is not a good observation of Hijab as it is supposed to be for women," said Akif Mahajar, a front man for the ministry.

If I had to choose a solidarity mask, it would be a toss up between Nacho Libre and a vintage Gary Cheever’s goalie mask. I don’t think I would last very long on Taliban TV.

Why is the "US" Red Cross involved ?
The US Red Cross aka American National Red Cross, is a US based non-profit that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and disaster preparedness education in the United States.
So why isn't the International Red Cross, aka International Committee of the Red Cross, doing this?
Africans they can get behind saving. Americans? Eww gross. Did you see how they vote? To western leftists, the only bad killing is done by white people. If non-white people kill in large numbers, this is to be expected because they're non-humans.
Remember this principle, it is shockingly applicable over and over.
.[OneIndia] Loudspeakers at mosques in Uttar Pradesh have either turned down their volume or been removed, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday and added the uninstalled public address systems are being donated to schools and hospitals, PTI reported.
The chief minister further said there were no riots in the BJP-ruled state during and after the recent assembly polls.
Virtually addressing a media conclave organised by RSS-linked weeklies 'Panchjanya' and 'Organiser', Yogi Adityanath said, "In many states there were riots after the elections were over. There were no riots in UP during or after the elections. After the formation of the government, Ram Navami was celebrated with fervour. Hanuman Jayanti celebrations passed off peacefully. This is the same UP where small issues led to riots earlier," he said.
"Now, you must have seen for the first time that Eid namaz was not performed on roads. Now, you must have heard that either the volume of the mosque loudspeaker has gone down or the loudspeaker has been removed completely. Now these loudspeakers are being donated to schools and hospitals for their use," Yogi Adityanath said.
Talking about the issue of stray cattle in the state, he listed several steps taken by the government to deal with it.
"...when our government came to power in the state, it shut down all illegal slaughterhouses. And then stray cattle were roaming on roads and in the fields. Earlier they were smuggled into illegal slaughterhouses. To meet this challenge, we set up over 5,600 stray cattle shelters," he said.
He said a new system is being set up for producing CNG from cow dung, which will be bought from people at Re 1 per kg, Adityanath said, adding that all necessary steps will be taken to protect cows.
He also talked about the grand Ram temple being built in Ayodhya and the renovated Kashi Vishwanath temple complex.
In every assembly constituency in the state, the government is developing a pilgrimage site, he said.
He also spoke about the economic progress of Uttar Pradesh under the "double engine" government -- same party rule at the Centre and in the state.

Good lord, Frank G — you’re an engineer, so you know that everyone has some value, if only as a machine to turn oxygen into carbon dioxide, giving plants the substance they need to reverse the process.

[Rudaw] Awatef Massud is longing to reunite with her Iraqi family after years spent in Syria, but first she must do time in a vetting camp to ensure she has no links to jihadists.
The 35-year-old mother of five fled to neighbouring Syria in 2014 to escape violence at home after the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group swept across swathes of Syria and Iraq.

Like Rwanda, I think some kind of reconciliation would be beneficial. Easier said then done. I like the Rwanda model over the Perpetual Palestinian Problem model.
