BROWNSVILLE (United States) — At least seven people were killed Sunday (May 7) in south Texas and several others injured when a car plowed through a group waiting at a bus stop outside a migrant aid center, police said.
Law enforcement said they were treating the incident as an accident for now, though a witness told AFP the driver had yelled insults at the group before accelerating.
"More than likely there's going to be other charges coming on later," Mr Sandoval earlier told a local ABC affiliate, without clarifying what the additional charges might be. Mr Sandoval said at least some of the victims were migrants, but could not confirm whether they all were.The news of the tragedy comes as authorities brace for the lifting on Thursday of a Donald Trump-era federal policy that allows border patrol officers to deport or turn away migrants without even accepting their asylum applications.
