Brush fire north of the Valley beginning to spread
A fire south of Kingsville is keeping firefighters busy.
The fire, located north of the Valley, has burned 46,000 acres between highways 281 and 77.
As of Thursday evening, the fire was 20% contained.
Authorities say the wind is pushing the fire toward Premont and Falfurrias. Residents have been notified to be ready in case of an evacuation.
Highways 281 and 285 were reopened by the Texas Department of Transportation after the agency closed them due to the fire.
Residents in Falfurrias have already reported smoke and ash in the air.

Discrepancies in ticket prices at Isla Blanca Park sparks concern
Locals and visitors heading to Isla Blanca Park are seeing some discrepancies between what they're paying to get in and what their receipt looks like.
South Padre Island resident Nathan Hubble said his receipt didn't match the cash he paid at the gate at Isla Blanca Park.
"It was kind of sticking out when I was leaving yesterday and I was like, ‘This says $10? I'm pretty sure I gave that fella $12.’”
Hubble said this is the first time he noticed the discrepancy, but a former parks employee who spoke to Channel 5 News anonymously said it's been an issue since prices at the park increased back in 2019.
The former ticket clerk telling said they were told the price increase for visitors would require a point of sale machine upgrade that would cost extra money.
Instead, the former ticket clerk said they were instructed by co-workers to make a $10 transaction, followed by a separate $2 transaction so the cash would reflect in the books.
“If I go to refund and they give me $10 and I say, ‘No, I gave you $12. Well no here's your receipt for $10 dollars’ and that's weird."
With over 1 million visitors a year at an extra $2 per ticket, that could be up to $2 million in county funds possibly missing from the books.
Channel 5 News reached out to Cameron County Parks Director Joe Vega regarding the incorrect receipts. Vega has yet to respond as of Thursday evening.

Texas power grid, energy sectors facing elevated Russian cyber threats during war in Ukraine
Sign up for The Brief, our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Russian hackers have been probing Texas’ energy infrastructure for weak points in digital systems that would allow them to steal sensitive information or disrupt operations, according to interviews with energy companies, state officials and cybersecurity experts.
State regulators and energy companies — from utilities to oil and gas transportation hubs to their associated vendors — said they have been aware of the elevated Russian cyber threats since the Russian invasion of Ukraine last month, but they’re careful to not say too much.
“We are on super high alert,” said Thad Hill, CEO of Texas power giant Calpine, adding that he has been closely monitoring Russia’s cyber actions.
President Joe Biden last week warned that the White House has “evolving intelligence that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyberattacks” — the administration’s starkest warning yet.
Worst-case scenarios in Texas include hackers breaching the state’s power grid system and shutting off electricity to millions of Texans, seeking to halt shipments of oil and gas from sea ports, or breaking into a refinery’s network so it is unable to produce gasoline and other petroleum products.

Energy companies and their regulators said it’s not unusual to detect hackers surveying their networks for weak points. But since February’s Russian invasion, energy-related facilities in Texas have seen the number of probes by hackers increase, Robert M. Lee, founder and CEO of the industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos, said in an interview.
Lee, who previously worked at the National Security Agency, where he helped design the U.S. government’s system for tracking state-backed hackers, said his company has traced the hackers recently probing Texas energy infrastructure and discovered they’re Russian.
“Texas has some key export facilities for liquid natural gas — at a national security level, there are a couple sites that we all freak out about,” Lee said. “If you took down one site, you don't get fuel exports out to certain countries.”
The Port of Corpus Christi has grown to be the third largest sea port in the country and the nation’s second largest exporter of natural gas. Many European countries rely heavily on Russian natural gas, and the U.S. is trying to help wean Europe off Russian gas by increasing U.S. natural gas exports to Europe — part of an increasing effort to put economic pressure on Russia.
“We are certainly a target,” Sean Strawbridge, CEO of the Port of Corpus Christi, said in an interview.
Russia is known globally in the cybersecurity world for having a top notch cyberattack operation. In 2021, Russian hackers breached computerized equipment that operates the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S., causing the Colonial Pipeline Company to shut down its pipeline, which originates in Houston, for six days to contain the attack. The breach triggered fuel shortages and a spike in gas prices on the East Coast.
Last week the U.S. Justice Department unsealed two indictments charging four Russians who worked for the Russian government with an ongoing campaign of infiltrating the computers of energy companies in 135 countries between 2012 and 2018.
Separately, a federal grand jury earlier this month indicted a 23-year-old Russian man in East Texas for “operating a cyber-criminal marketplace that sold thousands of stolen login credentials, personal identifiable information and authentication tools” for online payment platforms, retailers and credit card accounts, the Justice Department said.
Dr. Chris Bronk, a cybersecurity professor at the University of Houston, said he is most concerned about possible cyber attacks on the U.S. electricity system.
Regulators overseeing Texas’ power grid, the smallest of the three in the U.S., said the grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas that oversees it, work diligently on cyberdefense.
But ERCOT was unable to keep the power on last year when a winter storm hammered Texas, leaving millions without power for days and hundreds dead. ERCOT said the grid was only minutes away from catastrophic failure that could have caused monthslong blackouts if it hadn’t quickly ordered companies to shut off power to large swaths of the state.
“If parts of ERCOT go down, the whole grid could collapse,” Bronk said. “It’s a rickety ship, and we have ample evidence of the weaknesses.”
State regulators said they have been shoring up their cyberdefenses.
“We take cybersecurity and the protection of the Texas grid and our state’s energy infrastructure very seriously,” a spokesperson for the Public Utility Commission of Texas said in an email. “We are aware of and closely monitoring the potential increased risk of cyberattack on that infrastructure and we’re working with our regulated industries to communicate emerging threats, alerts and warnings issued at the federal level.”
In West Texas, the nation’s biggest oil producing region, a February hacking attempt on a local hospital system has some local officials on edge.
Dustin Fawcett, the incoming county judge in Ector County, home of Odessa — which was named after the Ukrainian city on the Black Sea — said Medical Center Hospital System learned that the attack “did come from Russia.”
“Anything to disrupt our way of life will then impact the oil and gas industry,” Fawcett said. “If they can disrupt our production out here in any way, that benefits them.”

U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela steps down, setting up a heated battle for his South Texas district
Sign up for The Brief, our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela will formally resign from Congress late Thursday in a move that officially kicks off what’s expected to be a scramble to replace him in a special election.
Vela, D-Brownsville, previously announced his intention to step down before the end of his term because he intends on taking a job with Akin Gump, a prominent lobbying and law firm.
"I write to inform you that I have notified Texas Governor Greg Abbott of my resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives, effective today at 11:59 PM EST," he wrote to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "It has been a profound honor to represent the people of the 34th Congressional District of Texas for the last nine years, and my distinct pleasure to serve under your leadership."
Now that the resignation is official, Gov. Greg Abbott has the power to set a special election date — a development that Republicans are relishing as part of their offensive targeting three congressional seats in South Texas this fall.
A special election will be a complicated affair.
Whoever wins will only serve for the remainder of Vela’s unfinished term, which is a matter of months. The November general election will determine who serves the next full term representing the 34th Congressional District.
U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez is the Democratic nominee for that next two-year term that begins in January. He currently represents the nearby 15th Congressional District and switched to the 34th District in this year’s general election due to redistricting. He has said he has no plans to resign from his current seat to run in a special election for Vela’s unfinished term.
Because it’s too late for new general election candidates, any other Democrats interested in running for the seat in the special election will only be able to hold it for a matter of months. Republicans are already eyeing the special election as an opportunity to show their growing strength in the region.
GOP activist Mayra Flores is the Republican nominee for the November campaign, and she intends to run in the special election. If she won that special election, she and Gonzalez would face off in a rare U.S. House race between two sitting members in November.
Vela carried the district in 2020 by about 14 points.

Valley experiencing peak pollen period, doctor says
The Rio Grande Valley is undergoing peak pollen periods, according to a local doctor.
Dr. Priscila Ibarra Becerra said adults have many symptoms in common when they experience allergies.
“One of the most common symptoms is of course runny nose, sneezing very frequently, and nasal itching. They can have the feeling of nasal obstruction, like congestion," Dr. Becerra said.
According to data from Accuweather, the Valley is experiencing high volumes of tree pollen. Dr. Becerra says we'll probably experience this until May
Dr. Becerra also said you can tell allergies apart from the flu and COVID-19 if you’re experiencing other symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, fevers and chills.
Dr. Becerra also recommended people wear a mask.
“Masks can protect you against breathing in all the allergens,” she said. “If you're sneezing or sniffing, then change it about every two hours."
Over the counter medication like Zyrtec, Claritin and Loratadine can help minimize symptoms.

Alaskan company pays $2M in Army post kickback, bribery suit
EL PASO, Texas (AP) - Officials say an Alaskan company and its subsidiary have paid over $2 million to settle a U.S. government lawsuit that accused the company of paying kickbacks and bribes to secure government contracts at an El Paso Army post.
A federal court complaint shows that the scheme involved a construction work contract at Fort Bliss, which is part of a "$3 billion effort to transform" the base.
The El Paso Times reports that Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corp. and KIC Development LLC agreed to the $2,025,000 settlement last month.
Court records indicate that from 2008 to 2009, three then-KIC employees unlawfully paid James G. Tuskan, who was a contract worker with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
The bribes included airline flights, paying for hotels and vacations, and payments to Tuskan's family.

Valley residents urged to participate in Red Cross Giving Day
The Gulf Coast region of the American Red Cross has responded to more than 1,000 disasters since last July.
Wednesday, March 23, will mark Red Cross Giving Day, and local officials are reminding everyone they can volunteer or donate any time of the year.

Local Law Enforcement Concerned about Laser Beams across Border
Related Story
ROMA – People using laser pointers across the border are causing concern for local law enforcement.
Roma Assistant Chief of Police, Francisco Garcia, says two officers experienced a laser beam attack from across the border.
“Both officers were hit one right after the other directly to the eyes. It wasn't like a laser just bouncing around like you're normally holding it in your hand. This one was too direct to the officer’s eyes," says Garcia.
The laser sent Garcia’s officers to the hospital for evaluation; both were released the same day.
Dr. Nehal Patel says lasers at a high intensity similar to the one described by the officers, could cause lasting damage if not evaluated.
“If this laser energy is very strong and it's excessive density and if you're looking at the laser light for a prolonged period of time it can cause a burn on the retina," says Patel.
Garcia’s officers will continue to patrol; they remain dedicated to keeping illegal activity off their part of the border.

COVID-19 asylum limits at US-Mexico border to end May 23
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Centers for Disease Control announced Friday that it is ending a policy that limited asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The use of public health powers had been widely criticized by Democrats and immigration advocates as an excuse for the United States to shirk its obligations to provide haven to people fleeing persecution. The policy went into effect under President Donald Trump in March 2020. Since then, migrants trying to enter the U.S. have been turned away more than 1.7 million times.
RELATED: Preparations underway to prepare for possible increase of migrants in Valley
The policy, known as the Title 42 authority, named for a 1944 public health law to prevent communicable disease, will end on paper April 1, but it will not take effect until May 23, to allow border officials time to prepare.
"After considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19 (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the CDC director has determined that an order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary," the CDC said in a statement.
RELATED: Migrants hopeful, suspicious at US reopening to asylum
The decision is expected to draw more migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Department of Homeland Security said this week that about 7,100 migrants were coming daily, compared with an average of about 5,900 a day in February — on pace to match or exceed highs from last year, 2019 and other peak periods. But border officials said they are planning for as many as 18,000 arrivals daily.

Food Bank RGV offering produce vouchers to families
The Food Bank Rio Grande Valley is pushing for eligible residents to apply for the food bank's farmer's market nutrition program.
The farmer's market nutrition program gives families in the WIC program access to $30 worth of produce from their local farmer's market.
Food Bank RGV CEO Libby Saenz recommends people sign up for the program as soon as they can. The vouchers are valid through the end of September, but she says now is the time to use them because we are in peak produce season.
"Our season is starting to die down,” Saenz said. “Our season is a little bit shorter than the rest of the––once this goes and this gets activated, we only have from February to May maybe June, so that's just a few months. We want moms to come in, get these vouchers, use them right then and there right away."
There are currently only two farmer's markets in the Valley that can accept these voucher’s, including the farmer’s market outside the library in McAllen and the one in Brownsville across from the Gladys Porter Zoo.
Saenz says that even if you don't qualify for this program, give them a call as there are plenty of other programs available.
You can reach them at (956) 682- 8101.

Hidalgo County tax offices to begin closing on Wednesdays due to lack of staff
A lack of staff is causing the Hidalgo County Tax Office to close its offices every Wednesday, beginning next week.
“We were forced to take this action because of a heavy workload as society begins to return to normal after two years of pandemic, combined with a high vacancy on our staff,” Hidalgo County Tax Assessor Collector Pablo Villarreal, Jr. said in a statement.
While the offices will be closed for public transactions on Wednesdays, employees will continue working inside to catch up on a backlog of title work, correspondence and other accounting duties in order to meet contractual obligations, Villarreal said.
The public is encouraged to handle tax-related business online.
The Wednesday closures will begin on April 6.

Migrants march from south Mexico as US lifts COVID ban
TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — Some 500 migrants from Central America, Venezuela and elsewhere pushed past police and National Guard lines in southern Mexico Friday in one of the first such marches this year.
The migrants described the march as a traditional annual protest related to Holy Week, and those at the front carried a white cross, as others have done in previous years.
RELATED: COVID-19 asylum limits at US-Mexico border to end May 23
However, this year the protest came two weeks early and some participants said they would go far beyond the usual short march and try to reach the U.S. border.
And in a clash with National Guard officers and immigration agents, the migrants used the cross they were carrying as a battering ram to break through the Guard lines, shattering the wooden cross.
The officers, who had riot shields, batons and what appeared to be an irritant spray, detained some marchers, but many others ran past them.
The migrants set out from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, early Friday. Migrants have complained they have been essentially confined to Tapachula by the slow processing of their asylum cases and that they are unable to find work in the border state of Chiapas that would allow them to support their families.
"They are practically holding us prisoners; they do not allow us to leave this state because we are not regularized here," said Venezuelan migrant Noreydi Chávez. "They require us to get a visa, but we never get any answers. We fill out paperwork, but they never process it."
Reynaldo Bello, a migrant from Peru, joined the march with his wife and baby because the family had been living a park and going hungry while waiting for their immigration paperwork to be processed.
The march came as the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden announced it would end a policy that allows turning back asylum seekers on grounds of protecting the country against the coronavirus pandemic.
Migrants have been expelled more than 1.7 million times from the U.S. under the policy, known as Title 42 for a public health law, which was invoked in March 2020.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control said Friday it would end the authority effective May 23.
Near the height of the omicron variant in late January, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had extended the order to this week.
Luis García Villagrán, an immigration activist with the Center for Human Dignification, said Mexican immigration authorities had largely shut off most visa processes in Tapachula and told migrants the only path to regularize their stay in Mexico was through the much lengthier procedure of applying for asylum or refugee status.
A migrant march in the same area was broken up in January, and similar efforts were dissolved by police and immigration agents in 2021 and 2020. The marches are significantly smaller than caravans in 2018 and 2019 that brought thousands of migrants to the U.S. border.
The caravans began several years ago as a way for migrants who did not have the money to pay smugglers to take advantage of safety in numbers as they moved toward the U.S. border. However, Guatemala and Mexico became more aggressive in breaking up the caravans.
The Mexican government has tried to appease the United States by stopping caravans of walking migrants and allowing reinstatement of the so called "Remain in Mexico" policy.
But Mexico has been unable to stanch the flood of migrants stuffed by the hundreds into trucks operated by smugglers who charge thousands of dollars to take them to the U.S. border, trips that all too often turn deadly.

Texas’ Henry Cuellar one of two Democrats to vote against landmark marijuana legalization bill
Sign up for The Brief, our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a moderate Democrat from Laredo, broke with his party to vote against a landmark marijuana legalization bill on Friday that passed in the House. Only one other Democrat voted against it.
Cuellar, who is currently in a fierce runoff for his 10th term against progressive attorney Jessica Cisneros, has long infuriated progressive Democrats with his conservative positions on many social issues. The Laredo politician opposes abortion and was the lone Democrat to vote against federal abortion rights legislation last fall.
Cuellar’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The bill — named the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act — removes marijuana from the list of federally controlled substances and eliminates criminal penalties for people who possess, manufacture and distribute the drug. It also prohibits the denial of federal benefits and protections to people with marijuana-related conduct or offenses.
The bill would also establish a process to expunge from people’s records non-violent cannabis crimes. Many Democrats — especially progressives — have long argued those arrests disproportionately affect people of color and low-income communities.
The 220-204 vote included all Texas representatives besides Cuellar voting along party lines. One other Democrat, U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas of New Hampshire, also voted against the bill. Three Republicans out of 209 voted with Democrats to pass the bill.
The legislation has bleak odds to become law. It now heads to the evenly-divided Senate and would need significant Republican support to receive the 60 votes necessary to pass. A similar bill passed the Democratic-controlled House in Dec. 2020 but stalled in the upper chamber.
Cuellar is headed into a late-May runoff election with Cisneros after he just missed the majority threshold necessary to win his March primary outright. Outside the Democratic primary, Republicans are on the offensive in South Texas and are hoping to flip several blue seats — including Cuellar’s — in the November election.
"It is shameful that, in 2022, Henry Cuellar is still siding with Republicans to criminalize marijuana," Cisneros said in an emailed statement. "As an immigration attorney, I've seen firsthand how the War on Drugs and our criminal system disproportionately punishes Black and brown people in America. I’ve seen how criminalization has led to torn families, deportations, and loss of jobs and housing."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who on Thursday spoke in support of the bill at her weekly press conference, said she still supports Cuellar during a visit to Austin in late March.
The congressman is also embroiled in an ongoing FBI investigation after the agency raided his house in January.

Vulnerable Dems warn Biden about reopening asylum
PHOENIX (AP) — The Biden administration's decision to end sweeping asylum limits at the border this May satisfied demands by prominent Democrats eagerly awaiting the end of a program created by Donald Trump in the name of public health.
But it creates thorny political challenges for border-region Democrats who face the likely prospect of an increase in migrants who have for two years been denied the chance to seek asylum in the United States.
In unusually harsh critiques of a president from their own party, some of the congressional Democrats with the toughest reelection prospects are warning that the administration is woefully unprepared to handle the situation.
"This is a crisis, and in my estimation, because of a lack of planning from the administration, it's about to get worse," said Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.
Kelly and fellow Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema met Wednesday with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to press their case for the administration to better plan and coordinate a response. Last week, they wrote to President Joe Biden urging him to delay ending the pandemic rules until his administration is "completely ready to execute and coordinate a comprehensive plan that ensures a secure, orderly, and humane process at the border."
Sinema and Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn sent a similar letter to Mayorkas on Thursday. Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, another top target for Republicans, were critical of the decision Friday.
Migrants have been expelled from the U.S. more than 1.7 million times under public health powers invoked in March 2020 that are designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Biden administration announced plans Friday to end Title 42 authority — named for a 1944 public health law — by May 23. Near the height of the omicron variant in late January, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had extended the order to this week.
The announcement comes after mounting pressure from many prominent Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, to end a Trump-era program they cast as an excuse to wriggle out of obligations under U.S. law and international treaty to protect anyone fleeing persecution.
Kelly, Sinema and other skeptical Democrats say the emergency powers must go away eventually, but they say the federal government has failed to develop and share plans to minimize the impact on communities near the border and the local religious and nonprofit groups that help migrants there.
"I've worked really hard to make it very clear to them that this situation is unacceptable, and they seem to get the message," Kelly added. "It's more challenging to get them to turn this into an actionable plan."
Kelly, elected from once-solidly conservative Arizona, is among the most vulnerable Democrats in the Senate. He's aggressively targeted by Republicans in what is already a tough year for Democrats who are fighting to hold onto their razor-thin majority in the Senate.
Kelly declined to discuss the impact of the decision on his tough reelection campaign, saying he's focused on his job as senator.
"They know the realities of Arizona and its history, especially as a border state," Mike Noble, a Phoenix-based pollster who used to consult for Republican campaigns but now focuses on nonpartisan polling, said of Arizona's senators. "If they want to maintain their seats, they have to be tough on immigration, and if not, they could find themselves out of a job."
Republicans see rising numbers of migrants as a winning issue with swing voters, particularly in border states like Arizona. An AP-NORC poll conducted in January found just 39% of Americans approve of how Biden is handling immigration. Eighty-seven percent of Republicans said they disapprove, but so did 34% of Democrats.
"The entire country sees the failure of the Biden administration and the laughing matter that this is to Kamala Harris, the self-appointed czar," said Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, the co-chair of the Republican Governors Association, which raises money to elect GOP governors. "They're gonna pay a hell of a price at the ballot box in November. In every state."
In Texas, Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, both of whom represent border districts, joined Republicans in the Texas congressional delegation this week in expressing concern about ending Title 42.
"Small border communities lack the appropriate housing, transportation, and healthcare infrastructure to manage the ongoing release of migrant populations into their jurisdictions," the lawmakers wrote.
Encapsulating internal divisions among Democrats, Cuellar's progressive primary opponent, Jessica Cisneros, immediately seized on the issue, saying on Twitter that Cuellar's support for keeping Title 42 amounts to "cruel and inhuman treatment of people whose stories and families resemble our own."
Advocates for immigrants and refugees in Arizona say it's long past time for the Biden administration to stop using public health rules to prevent people from claiming asylum.
Arizona's senators seem to be looking at the border issue through a national political lens, said Joanna Williams, executive director of the Kino Border Initiative, which works in the twin border towns of Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Mexico.
"They are underestimating Arizonans," Williams said. "We really have a community of hospitality that can arise to the occasion and help people. The senators need to listen to what people here are saying. This isn't Texas."
Alex Miller, director of asylum seekers and families for the International Rescue Committee in Arizona, said with coronavirus positivity rates among new arrivals now at less than 1% "the justification for closing the border is gone."
"There is just no excuse for denying people fleeing from terrible abuse from getting asylum," she said. "We have a moral responsibility to help these people."

Will Smith resigns from film academy over Chris Rock slap
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Will Smith resigned Friday from the motion picture academy following his Oscars night slap of Chris Rock and said he would accept any further punishment the organization imposed.
A spokesperson for Smith issued a statement from the actor Friday afternoon.
"I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable," Smith said in the statement.
"I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work," Smith's statement said. "I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film. "
Smith's resignation came two days after the academy met to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group's standards of conduct.
On Sunday, Smith strode from his front-row Dolby Theatre seat on to the stage and smacked Rock, who had made a joke at the expense of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Moments later, he went on to win the best actor award for his role in "King Richard."
Rock, who was about to present Oscar for best documentary, declined to file charges when asked by police.

Hidalgo Co. Officials Gearing Up for 2020 Census
Related Story
EDINBURG – Hidalgo County officials are gearing up for the 2020 census.
Planning has begun early due to the county facing challenges with an under count in the last census cycle in 2010.
An under count means an under cut in cash because counties receive funding based on population.
KRGV’s Carolina Cruz spoke with the Assistant Chief of Staff at the Office of Hidalgo County Judge, Erika Reyna-Velazquez, about the other issues that arose.
Efforts to hire people to operate the local 2020 census office are still in the works.
Watch the video above for more information.

Cameron County authorities have arrested two men in connection with the slayings of a Brownsville father and son found bound and gagged with gunshot wounds to the head in December, Sheriff Eric Garza announced Wednesday.
Lawrence James Strong was arrested by the Everest Metro Police Department in Wisconsin on March 13 and extradited to Cameron County on Tuesday.

At the Cameron County jail, Strong was served with several arrest warrants, including two counts of murder, both first-degree felonies; two counts of aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon, both first-degree felonies; and one count of tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony.
Authorities say a second man, Cesar Olvera, was arrested on Jan. 3 on two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of tampering with evidence in connection with the case.

Former Hidalgo County deputy pleads guilty in drug trafficking conspiracy
A former deputy with the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office admitted to his involvement in a drug trafficking organization.
Baldemar Cardenas, 36, pled guilty Friday to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, court records show.
According to a news release from the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office, Cardenas worked with a drug trafficking organization in January 2020 that was transporting cocaine.
“The drug trafficking organization would receive high-purity cocaine which was diluted to make low priority bundles that Cardenas would tip off to law enforcement,” the news release stated. “This would allow the drug trafficking organization to keep the high-purity cocaine for distribution and profit while avoiding responsibility for the lost loads.”
Cardenas admitted to receiving $10,000 for his part in the scheme, the news release stated.
A judge set Cardenas’ bond at $75,000 and set his sentencing for June 14.
Cardenas faces up to 40 years in prison.

Medical examiner testifies trial of man accused in 2017 homicide
The medical examiner who performed the autopsy of the woman who was found beaten to death in 2017 testified Friday.
Lamar Lawson is accused of beating Sonya De La Cruz to death after he had a sexual encounter with her at a McAllen hotel in November 2017.
Dr. Norma Farley testified in court that she had no doubt that De La Cruz’s death was not an accident, and ruled the cause of death as blunt force trauma.
Prosecutors also showed graphic images of the victim to the jury.
The jury also heard from Jessica Garza, who said she knew the victim and that Lawson had previously had contact with her at the same motel.
The trial continues Monday.

Staff members at produce facility assess damage from fire
Firefighters worked through the night to contain a fire that broke out Thursday at a produce facility in San Juan.
The staff at Rio Fresh Inc. say hundreds of thousands of warehouse space and structure was damaged from the fire. They’re looking to rebuild once it’s safe.
RELATED: Multiple crews responding to warehouse fire in San Juan
The family owned, farm-packaging shed operating company employs roughly 300 employees and is responsible for packing and shipping produce like leafy greens and vegetables.
Their top commodity is onion, and thousands were lost in the fire.
“If I had to guess, anywhere from 50 to 100 hundred truckloads of onions were lost in the fire, you can see them still burning in the distance,” Rio Fresh Inc. staff member Chris Larson said.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
“Right now we can't operate out of this facility right now,” Larson said. “We've been blessed with some amazing community, fellow farmers, and packers and shippers and warehouses and they have opened their arms to allow us to try and operate out of some of their facilities."
On Friday, first responders with the city of Pharr were using excavators and backhoes to move piles of onions to be able to cool off dozens of hot spots throughout the warehouse.

Willacy County detention facility closes
Nearly 200 people were left without a job after Willacy County closed down the regional detention facility in Raymondville.
The facility has been run by the company Management And Training Corp since it first opened nearly 20 years ago.
The deal with MTC ended Thursday after an executive order from President Biden ordered the Justice Department to phase out contracts with private prison companies.
Willacy County Sheriff Jose Salazar said the impact of the closure is huge as the facility pumps hundreds of thousands of dollars into the county each year.
"Everything around that facility is being impacted one way or shape or form,” Salazar said. “It's imperative that we as a Willacy County look forward to get that place back to operation."
Willacy County Judge Aurelio Guerra said the county has been preparing for this day.
"Obviously the efforts of whether or not [the county is] able to handle running it has been worked on for months,” Guerra said. “And we have a team that's working to see that the numbers do work. The reason that we're entertaining this idea is because we know there's a lot of families, a lot of employees that depend on these jobs here in Willacy County."
The county is working with MTC to see if they can still provide some services to help operate the facility.
The prison is expected to remain closed for around two months.

The Latest: Border officer shoots driver at Arizona crossing
NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) - The Latest on a border shooting (all times local):
6:50 a.m.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says a CBP officer shot and wounded the driver of a vehicle attempting to cross into Mexico at a port of entry, and the mayor of the Arizona city where the incident took place says the wounded man died.
A CBP statement about the Thursday night shooting said the driver was wounded and taken to a hospital in Nogales, Sonora, but did not provide his condition, and CBP officials told The Associated Press on Friday they could not immediately provide additional information.
Mayor Arturo Garino, the mayor of Nogales, Arizona, told the Arizona Daily Star that the shooting took place after the driver refused to stop and tried to run over the CBP officer.
The CBP statement said the vehicle stopped several yards into Mexico.
11:55 p.m.
The mayor of Nogales, Arizona, says a port of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border is temporarily closed after a customs officer shot and killed a southbound driver who refused to stop.
Mayor Arturo Garino tells the Arizona Daily Star that he was told the shooting took place after the truck tried to run over the officer Thursday night.
The truck's momentum then carried it onto the Mexican side of the buffer zone between the two countries.
Officers of the Mexican equivalent of U.S. Customs and Border Protection reportedly surrounded the truck and discovered the driver dead.
Mexican authorities told the Nogales International newspaper that two men were in the truck and the passenger was arrested.

Harlingen Woman Unaware of Bee Problem Affecting Neighbors
Related Story
HARLINGEN – A Harlingen woman received a citation for her bee problem.
She claims she didn’t know this was even an issue.
Debra Cruz was given five days to remove the problem after her neighbor was attacked by the bees.
She says she wants to justify why she didn’t know about the issue by explaining her eye sensitivity.
"Ten years ago I was in a very bad car accident. I got hit by an 18-wheeler, which left me with head trauma... And I get emotional talking about it,” she explains
KRGV’s John Paul Barajas explains she hired someone to take care of the issue within 24 hours.

Valley experiencing peak pollen period, doctor says
Related Story
The Rio Grande Valley is undergoing peak pollen periods, according to a local doctor.
Dr. Priscila Ibarra Becerra said adults have many symptoms in common when they experience allergies.
“One of the most common symptoms is of course runny nose, sneezing very frequently, and nasal itching. They can have the feeling of nasal obstruction, like congestion," Dr. Becerra said.
According to data from AccuWeather, the Valley is experiencing high volumes of tree pollen. Dr. Becerra says we'll probably experience this until May.
Dr. Becerra also said you can tell allergies apart from the flu and COVID-19 if you’re experiencing other symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, fevers and chills.
Dr. Becerra also recommended people wear a mask.
“Masks can protect you against breathing in all the allergens,” she said. “If you're sneezing or sniffing, then change it about every two hours."
Over the counter medication like Zyrtec, Claritin and Loratadine can help minimize symptoms.

Opt-Out Law Possibly Impacting Low Vaccination Rates
WESLACO – The latest case of mumps at a Weslaco school is prompting a deeper look into vaccination rates across the Rio Grande Valley.
Texas law allows people to opt out of immunizations for what they call “reasons of conscience”.
Since 2014, Hidalgo County’s percentage of immunization opt-outs has nearly tripled.
"I consider this definitely a state of emergency, for the area, for all of us,” explains Dr. Gerardo Lopez-Mena, vice president of medical affairs at Doctors Hospital at Renaissance.
He says more and more patients are avoiding recommended guidelines.
KRGV’s Taylor Winkel explains some parents are questioning why students are able to opt out of their vaccines.
Visit the Texas Department of State Health Services website for information on the vaccination opt-out rates at schools and all other information.
Watch the video above for the full story.

Border city preparing for end of title 42
With the CDC announcing that the Trump-era policy that allows immigration authorities to turn away migrants at the border due to COVID concerns will expire next month, one border city is gearing up for more migrants appearing.
There's also hope for migrants stranded in Reynosa, two new shelters are set to open in two weeks. Reynosa Mayor Carlos Peña Ortiz said the city's family welfare office will take care of unaccompanied children, while the state office will handle adults.
Reynosa officials however did not provide further details.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection expects up to 18,000 people to cross the southern border daily.
Channel 5 News reached out to the city of Reynosa to learn more about their emergency plan in the event many more migrants start arriving at the border, but have not heard a response as of Friday.

Browsnville ISD considering merging two elementary schools
Pandemic related budget constraints are being cited as the reason behind the potential merger of two elementary schools in Brownsville as the district attempts to combat attendance issues.
Brownsville ISD Superintendent Rene Gutierrez said all options are on the table.
“We were losing kids, but we were not losing kids at this kind of rate that we have due to the pandemic,” Gutierrez said.
One option would be to close Castaneda Elementary School to combine it with the neighboring Cromack Elementary School.
The merger would trim at least 14 current administrative positions down to nine.
Veronica Borrego, president of the Association of Brownsville Educators, said teachers who have been part of a merger in the past typically have issues being welcomed to new campuses. The biggest concern, however, is the adjustment for students.
“Kids are just barely getting back into the swing of things, getting back into being comfortable at the campuses they were already at,” Borrego said. “So for them to throw this at them, it's just kind of...it's tough for them to swallow.”

City of Santa Rosa engaged in lawsuit with former volunteer fire department
A new group of volunteer firefighters is coming to the Santa Rosa Volunteer Fire Department after city employees blocked the former volunteers from entering the station.
Both parties are engaged in a lawsuit over who owns the property where the fire department stands.
“We took action to try to get control of the equipment so that we can have our new group of volunteers take over, and it seems that they want to interfere with our process,” Santa Rosa City Manager Jared Hockema said of the former volunteers. “In the end, we're going to control of this equipment and we're going to continue this transition.”
Ruben R. Pena, an attorney for the former firefighters, said the property was transferred to the volunteer fire department in 1983.
The former volunteers did not have access enter the station to grab their gear or fire trucks, making them turn a blind eye to the sight of fire in the area.
“While the city may want to do its own thing, it's certainly not entitled to destroy property, and if they took vehicles — which is what my clients say — that's basically stealing,” attorney Ruben R Pena said. “That's theft.”
Arrangements have been made with the county to get responses to fires from other agencies. The new volunteer fire department is said to be ready in a couple days, Hockema said.

Federal drug charge against man falsely accused of possessing 700 gallons of liquid meth dismissed
Federal court filings show that the charge against a man arrested in February for possessing more than 700 gallons of liquid meth was dismissed.
The alleged drug load Juan Carlos Toscano Guzman was accused of possessing was said to be worth more than $10 million. He was incarcerated for over a month following his arrest.
RELATED: Pharr police seize more than 700 gallons of liquid meth
Despite the substance in question testing positive for methamphetamine in tests conducted by the DEA and the city of Pharr's police and fire departments, lab tests revealed that the substance was not methamphetamine, but diesel mixed with an additive.
“They need to work on that, that's for sure,” Guzman’s attorney - Oscar Vega – said. “It was out in the open, so nobody's hiding anything. Policemen should've known if that's liquid meth.”
A district judge signed off on the order to have the charges dismissed last week.
“I think that there's nothing they can do…they can say they're sorry, but it's not going to change anything,” Vega said. “They're not (going to) payback somebody's time for a month in incarceration. You don't write them a check, it's just unfortunate that the field tests were inaccurate.")
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment. The DEA directed all comments to Pharr Police Chief Andy Harvey who said in a statement that the tests used provided probable cause to move forward with an arrest and federal charges.
“I just wish they would answer to it and say, 'You know, we're gonna work on our tests, see where we failed,'” Vega said. “They grabbed the headlines, but they also need to come back and say, 'OK, we're gonna work on improving our tests, so innocent people don't be incarcerated."

85 babies under 1 year old in Nueces County have tested positive for COVID-19, according to report
Related Story
Eighty-five infants who are under the age of 1 have tested positive for the coronavirus in Nueces County, CNN reports.
The county, which includes Corpus Christi, has become emblematic of the recent surge of coronavirus cases in the state. When the pandemic first started ravaging the state, Nueces County stayed relatively healthy while the Amarillo region suffered.
Now, however, the beachfront location has one of the fastest-growing outbreaks in the state, adding well over 2,000 new cases for each of the past two weeks.
“We currently have 85 babies under the age of one year in Nueces County that have all tested positive for COVID-19,” Annette Rodriguez, director of public health for Corpus Christi Nueces County, told CNN.
“These babies have not even had their first birthday yet,” she said. "Please help us stop the spread of this disease.”
Rodriguez did not provide additional information on the children’s conditions.
As The Texas Tribune previously reported, Nueces County Medical Examiner Adel Shaker said last week that a baby boy, less than 6 months old, had tested positive for COVID-19 and died.
In the last seven days, Nueces County has seen the fastest growth in new cases than any other metropolitan in the state, Corpus Christi city manager Peter Zanoni told CNN.
“You can see the trend line is relatively flat until July, and this is where we have had that huge spike in cases, and this is why it’s turned into a major problem for Nueces County,” he said.
As of late, Texas has become a new hotspot for coronavirus cases, reporting a record high 174 deaths on Friday, according to data from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
The Texas Tribune is a nonpartisan, nonprofit media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them – about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.

Border asylum limits ending, but not Biden's migrant woes
WASHINGTON (AP) — The ban on asylum-seekers at the U.S-Mexico border on public health grounds was imposed by a president who wanted to restrict immigration entirely. It will soon be ended by a president who is facing increasing pressure from within his own party to welcome immigrants.
The path ahead for President Joe Biden looks far from smooth. With the end of the ban on May 23, he faces an expected increase in migration at the border under a system incapable of managing such large migrant flows and buckling under a backlog of more than 1.7 million asylum cases.
Republicans are already eager to assign Biden blame for the expected images of thousands of people likely to be crammed into temporary border facilities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday that it would lift the asylum ban, known as Title 42, next month. The ban had become increasingly hard to justify as pandemic restrictions ended around the country.
Many Democrats and immigration advocates viewed it as nothing more than an excuse for the United States to avoid its moral and legal obligation to offer safe haven to asylum-seekers at the border.
By delaying the end of Title 42 for nearly two months, Biden appeared to be seeking a political balance between liberals who want the policy scrapped and moderates who have joined Republicans in supporting continued restrictions. He may end up satisfying neither.
The expected influx of migrants could create a political damaging crisis for Biden with the the November midterm elections approaching. That debate will probably hinge more on partisanship than facts.
American attitudes on immigration are based on perception, not reality, said René D. Flores, a sociology professor at the University of Chicago who studies public opinion and immigration.
"It's not about deciding what is the most sensible immigration policy," he said. "It's about managing public perception."
The president has already faced withering criticism from both Democrats and Republicans over how he has managed immigration. Republicans say his push to repeal Trump-era restrictions has led to an increase in illegal crossings. Democrats have criticized the administration's continued use of a policy that forces migrants back to Mexico to wait out their claims, even though that policy was reinstated by the Supreme Court.
An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll last year found that most Americans disapproved of how Biden had handled a sharp increase in migrant children and an influx of Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Approval of his other efforts on larger immigration policy fell short of other top issues.
Ryan Enos, a professor of government at Harvard University, doubted that the end of Title 42 would shift public opinion much, especially when views about immigration have become so polarized.
"Any issue besides the economy is going to be a marginal issue," he said.
The seven-week gap between Friday's order and the expiration of the asylum ban late next month is meant to allow officials time to increase staffing at the border, including erecting tents for an expected influx of asylum-seekers. It also allows for government officials to vaccinate more migrants at the border.
But in the interim, it creates a policy muddle. Nearly all migrants seeking to cross into the U.S. will be turned away under a health authority that American officials say is no longer necessary. It also gives opponents of ending Title 42 plenty of time to sue.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas said Biden was refusing to listen to Americans and had "chosen to jeopardize the safety and security of those very Americans he swore to protect and defend by ending Title 42 expulsions."
He said Texas must now "take even more unprecedented action to keep our communities safe by using any and all constitutional powers to protect its own territory."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said the decision "confirms that President Biden has abdicated his responsibilities and is actively working to make the border crisis worse. From Day One of his administration, he has failed to protect our nation's security and to secure the border."
From the other side, Biden faces criticism for waiting so long to act.
"The continued use of this policy — even for the next two months — is indefensible and unjustified," said Efrén Olivares, the deputy legal director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Immigrant Justice Project.
The Title 42 restrictions went into place in March 2020 under the Trump administration as coronavirus cases soared. While officials said at the time that it was a way to keep COVID-19 out of the United States, there always has been criticism that the restrictions were used as an excuse to seal the border to migrants that Trump did not want to let in anyway.
It was perhaps the broadest of President Donald Trump's actions to restrict crossings and crack down on migrants, and he instituted the policy over the objections of CDC officials, the AP reported. The health order has caused migrants to be expelled from the United States more than 1.7 million times since March 2020 without a chance for them to request asylum.
Biden came into office promising a return to more "humane" immigration policies after the Trump administration, which separated thousands of children from their parents at the border. But Trump dramatically changed how the U.S. system functions, shrinking the number of asylum-seekers allowed into the U.S. and adding restrictions that caused the backlog of immigration court cases to explode.
Biden undid many of Trump's policies and raised asylum caps, but some of his attempts have been stopped by courts, including the effort to end the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which forces migrants to wait in Mexico for their asylum cases to play out. The Supreme Court reinstated that policy, and there are thousands of people now in Mexico waiting for a chance to seek asylum.
Administration officials acknowledge there is likely to be a large influx at the border when the ban lifts, including Ukrainians displaced by the war with Russia. The U.S. government is erecting tents, bolstering agents, hiring more civilians and working to reduce the existing case backlog.
Jessica Bolter, an associate policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, estimates the hardest hit spots could be Del Rio, Texas and Yuma, Arizona — locations that are already overwhelmed.
"We were always going to see a significant spike in border crossings," she said. "To some degree, the administration doesn't have a ton of options."
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday that a long-term solution "can only come from comprehensive legislation that brings lasting reform to a fundamentally broken system."
Biden knows prospects for Democrats and Republicans to come together on such a deal are remote.
