MATAMOROS, México — Unas 25 moradas precarias fueron incendiadas intencionalmente esta semana en un campamento de migrantes, cerca de la frontera con Texas, según testigos, en una muestra del extremo peligro que supone quedarse varado en México, al que el gobierno del presidente Joe Biden recurre cada vez más para que acoja a personas que huyen de la pobreza y la violencia.Los incendios tuvieron lugar el miércoles y jueves en un amplio campamento de unas 2,000 personas, la mayoría provenientes de Venezuela, Haití y México, en Matamoros, una ciudad cercana a Brownsville, Texas. Una activista promigrantes dijo que las moradas precarias fueron rociadas con gasolina.Las personas huyeron cuando se incendiaron sus tiendas, dijo Gladys Cañas, que dirige el grupo Ayudándoles A Triunfar. Los afectados afirman que les dijeron que se marcharan del lugar, agregó. Responsabilizan a otro funcionario de migración por el incendio en Ciudad Juárez Migrantes e...

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) -- Multiple agencies are still looking for whoever was involved in a string of crimes that resulted in the death of a 20-year-old after she was struck and killed by a large rock while driving on Wednesday night.“The case itself is just a who done it. We know what happened here," George Brauchler, FOX31/Channel 2 legal analyst, said Friday. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said 20-year-old Alexa Bartell, of Arvada, was driving when one of the suspects threw a large rock either from a vehicle or the side of the road at her car.

How you could help the deadly rock investigation “If I had to make a best guess I would say it's two dudes because this is a special kind of stupid and violent that took place out there on that road," Brauchler said. Investigators said the rock hit Bartell and she was killed. “It's tough because of the area it occurred, there is very little camera coverage. I don’t see any indication there were dash c...

Miami’s Oladipo injures left knee late in Heat playoff game

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:42 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Victor Oladipo already left a game on a stretcher once. He refused to do it again on Saturday, even after what seemed like a serious injury.The Miami guard was helped off the court late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 121-99 playoff win over Milwaukee, after the oft-injured guard appeared to hurt his left knee.A stretcher was wheeled onto the floor to help Oladipo off the court. He wound up walking off himself, with assistance from team personnel. The Heat did not release any preliminary diagnosis, and planned further examination for Sunday.“Once the stretcher was out there, he was like, ‘I’m not getting on that thing,’” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “So, we’ll just have to see. I feel like throwing up right now, but I don’t know what the prognosis is. I’m going to stay positive and we’ll just see what happens after we scan him tomorrow.”Oladipo was driving down the lane when he appeared to slip as he went airborne. He landed ne...

Winderman’s view: Are Herro-less Heat better than Giannis-less Bucks? Looked that way Saturday

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:42 GMT

Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 121-99 NBA playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks:– This is not the series as advertised.– Not with Giannis Antetokounmpo missing the first 2 1/2 games with a lower-back contusion.– And possibly missing more.– So, no, not your typical No. 1 vs. No. 8.– But with this where it stands, and with no guarantees of when or if there is an Antetokounmpo return it begs the question:– Is the Bucks’ roster without Giannis better than the Heat’s current roster without Tyler Herro?– Giannis might be back at any time.– Herro won’t, out until June, if there is a June for the Heat, with his broken hand.– With Jimmy Butler, as long as Giannis is out, the Heat have the best player in the series.– (Provided his hard fall in Saturday’s third period doesn’t change that equation.)– But to do ultimate damage, the Heat can’t leave it as ...

Orioles win 5th straight, 5-1 over Tigers, as Kyle Gibson continues streak of strong starts

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:42 GMT

Kyle Gibson on Saturday wasn’t the pitcher the Orioles paid $10 million for this offseason.He was much more than that.Gibson, an 11-year veteran with a reputation as a pitch-to-contact innings-eater, struck out 11 batters to tie his career high in the Orioles’ 5-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. The 35-year-old right-hander allowed just two hits and one run in 6 1/3 innings to continue Baltimore’s streak of stupendous outings from its starters.“He was lights-out,” catcher James McCann said. “I’ve had to face him enough in my career, getting to catch [him] is a lot more fun.”The start is easily Gibson’s best as an Oriole. The only run he allowed was a home run with one out in the seventh. His 6 1/3 innings before the solo homer extended the scoreless streak by Orioles starters to 30, and the quality start was the club’s fourth straight, joining Dean Kremer, Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells. The Orioles have allowed just two runs in...

Rowdy Tellez’s ownership of Red Sox continues in 5-4 loss

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:42 GMT

Rowdy Tellez and the Milwaukee Brewers had Garrett Whitlock’s number early and often on Saturday night, and it led to a kind of loss that’s already become all too familiar this season.Fresh off the best start of his career (and the fastest Red Sox game since the 1990s), the 26-year-old righty wasn’t at the top of his game in America’s Dairyland. Over four innings, he threw 81 pitches, 54 for strikes, and induced eight swings and misses, but allowed five earned runs on eight hits, walked one, struck out one, and hit a batter.Whitlock pitched into the fifth inning, but was unable to record an out in the frame, and left a bases-loaded mess behind for Richard Bleier. The southpaw immediately had to contend with Tellez, whose torment of Red Sox pitching continues to defy logic. The former Toronto Blue Jay homered in each of the first two games of the series, bringing his career total against Boston up to 14 of 86 overall. Bleier managed to get him to hit into a do...

Heat this time seize upon Antetokounmpo absence, thrash Bucks 121-99 for 2-1 series lead

There will be basketball at the Miami Heat’s arena beyond Monday night’s Game 4 of this best-of-seven opening-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.Saturday night’s 121-99 Jimmy Butler-powered victory assured as much.It might be a Game 6 on Friday night against the Bucks or it might be, as unfathomable as it previously might have sounded for the No. 8 seed Heat, a second-round game against either the New York Knicks or Cleveland Cavaliers.For now, the unexpected reality for Erik Spoelstra’s team is a 2-1 lead series lead over top-seeded Milwaukee, which finds itself on shaky ground, with Giannis Antetokounmpo missing a second consecutive game with a lower-back contusion.Unable to take advantage of Antetokounmpo’s absence in their Wednesday night blowout loss at Fiserv Forum, the Heat this time seized the moment behind sizzling 16-of-33 3-point shooting and a fiery 30-point performance by Jimmy Butler.With Duncan Robinson, K...
