Los Fresnos (United States) (AFP) - Behind metal fences topped with barbed wire, men play volleyball and basketball at a detention center in Texas, passing time as they wait to hear if they will be allowed to stay in the United States. They are among more than 1,000 men housed at this former naval base in the US city of Los Fresnos, just a few miles from the Mexican border, which they all crossed illegally. Tens of thousands of people walk into America every week through informal crossing points along the 2,000-mile (3,000-kilometer) frontier, bringing hopes and dreams from Latin America, Afri...

Amarillo (United States) (AFP) - Abortion is illegal statewide in Texas, but residents in the city of Amarillo want to go a step further -- banning even the use of the city's roads by people seeking the procedure elsewhere. Dismissed as grandstanding and extremist by critics, such laws are legally dubious and almost impossible to enforce -- yet that hasn't stopped their proliferation across conservative locales in the United States. The highways passing through Amarillo connect Republican-led Texas with New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas, where abortion is still legal. "We're experiencing all the...

Houston (AFP) - The Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected on Friday a challenge to the state's strict abortion laws brought by women who had serious pregnancy complications but were denied abortions. The case was filed last year on behalf of two dozen women who were denied abortions even though they had in some cases life-threatening medical issues with their pregnancies. The suit was the first in the nation brought on behalf of women denied abortions since the US Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure in June 2022. The Center for Reproductive Rights argued in th...

Heftige Stürme haben im Süden der USA große Schäden angerichtet - mehrere Menschen starben dabei. Das Extremwetter zog in der Nacht über Texas, Oklahoma und Arkansas hinweg, wie US-Medien übereinstimmend berichteten. An mehreren Stellen entstanden demnach in allen drei Bundesstaaten auch Tornados. Das gesamte Ausmaß ist noch unklar. Rettungskräfte und Polizei waren an etlichen Orten im Einsatz, um in den Trümmern nach Vermissten zu suchen und Verletzte zu versorgen. Große Wohn- und Lastwagen kippten den Berichten zufolge wegen des starken Winds einfach um. Stromleitungen wurden abgerissen, Bäu...

Houston (AFP) - Several families whose children were killed or wounded in a mass shooting at their Texas school two years ago have sued the gun manufacturer as well as Instagram and video game company Activision for marketing the weapon, their lawyer said Friday. Nineteen young children and two teachers were killed in the city of Uvalde on May 24, 2022 when a teenage gunman went on a rampage with an AR-15 style assault rifle at Robb Elementary School, in America's deadliest school shooting in a decade. The families accuse the companies of wrongful death and gross negligence, saying gun manufac...

In early February, dairy farmers in the Texas Panhandle began to notice sick cattle. The buzz soon reached Darren Turley, executive director of the Texas Association of Dairymen: “They said there is something moving from herd to herd.” Nearly 60 days passed before veterinarians identified the culprit: a highly pathogenic strain of the bird flu virus, H5N1. Had it been detected sooner, the outbreak might have been swiftly contained. Now it has spread to at least eight other states, and it will be hard to eliminate. At the moment, the bird flu hasn’t adapted to spread from person to person throu...

Houston (AFP) - Relatives of children killed or wounded by a mass shooter in Uvalde two years ago have reached a $2 million settlement with the Texas city, a lawyer for the families said Wednesday. Nineteen small children and two teachers were killed when a teenage gunman went on a rampage at Robb Elementary School in May 2022 in America's worst school shooting in a decade. The response by law enforcement to the situation has come in for harsh criticism and a Justice Department probe found there were "critical failures" by police. Officers eventually shot and killed the gunman but waited more ...

Schwere Unwetter haben in der texanischen Großstadt Houston und Umgebung mindestens vier Menschen das Leben gekostet. Zwei von ihnen seien von umstürzenden Bäumen erschlagen worden, teilte Feuerwehrchef Samuel Peña laut Medienberichten mit. Eine weitere Person starb demnach, als ein Kran umkippte. Zu dem vierten Opfer gab es bisher keine näheren Angaben. Ein heftiger Sturm mit Windgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 160 Kilometern pro Stunde sei durch die Millionenmetropole im Süden der USA gezogen, sagte Bürgermeister John Whitmire. In der Innenstadt gebe es schwere Schäden. «Überall auf den Straßen...
