2…………> Biden Wave Slams US Border: New Immigration Policy

.

The US Border Patrol has been swamped by an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants approaching the southern US border following the introduction of a new immigration policy by recently elected US President Joe Biden.

According to multiple statements made in recent weeks by representatives of US border security agencies, a crisis at the US southern border has exhausted border security personnel and facilities under their supervision that are experiencing staff and space shortages as the country registers a record-breaking immigration influx.

Amid the extraordinary pressure, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reportedly been mulling to raise the limit of migrants allowed to be released into the US as another option to the detention program.

Commenting on the alarming pressure and financial loses that border security agencies faces amid the immigration influx, a sheriff in Kinney County, Texas, Brad Coe, told Fox & Friends on Friday, that what is happening right now at the border is “unprecedented”.

“I’ve worked in this county for 35 years, and we are seeing a vast number of human smuggling events there; human trafficking. I said yesterday, between one o’clock and four o’clock, my deputies had four human smuggling events happen. I’ve got six deputies to cover 1,300 square miles. So this push is keeping my deputies working overtime. We can’t sustain this,” he noted.

4…………>  Ends Hunger Strike: Navalny

.
Alexei Navalny had been warned by doctors to stop his hunger strike or risk death, and now the imprisoned leading Russian opposition figure said that he would gradually end the protest he started on March 31, after the 44-year-old Russian freedom-fighter released an Instagram post indicating that he was ending the strike following medical attention and being warned by non-prison doctors that continuing it would be life-threatening. He said it would take 24 days to get completely back to normal eating. Navalny, whose imprisonment has aroused outrage around the world, started his protest to demand proper medical care for leg and back pain. Supporters and doctors have been voicing fears in the past few weeks that his life could be in danger.

5…………> US Lifts J&J Vaccine Pause

.

US health regulators have lifted an 11-day pause on the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Covid-19 jab, but will add a warning label about the potential for extremely rare blood clots, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) panel earlier approved restarting US rollout of the shot, after fifteen vaccine recipients suffered from a dangerous blood clot out of nearly eight million given the vaccine. This week, Europe’s drug regulator also ended restrictions on the J&J vaccine,  and European regulators this month also linked similar, highly unusual blood clots to the AstraZeneca Covid-19 shot, but found the benefits of the drug.
