🔴 Houston enfrenta una crisis de seguridad que aumenta a medida que más cadáveres continúan apareciendo en sus bayous o canales.

Según el Instituto de Ciencias Forenses del condado texano de Harris, al menos 24 personas han sido encontradas sin vida dozz.es/u2ekn6
El hallazgo de 24 cadáveres en los ‘bayous’ de Houston en lo que va de año alimenta el miedo a un asesino serial
Las autoridades no han confirmado relación entre los muertos encontrados en los canales de la ciudad texana debido a la dificultad para analizar los cuerpos y hasta la fecha ninguno ha sido declarado un homicidio

Trump Burger es una inusual cadena de restaurantes ubicada en Texas que, más que comida, vende la ideología del presidente estadounidense. Nada de eso ha podido salvar a Roland Beainy de la deportación. Debía salir antes de febrero de 2024. Como no lo hizo, fue arrestado

From @jankcurbelo.bsky.social in 2024: "I feared leaving home, afraid I’d be followed by plainclothes state agents.

So I fled. Destination: Dallas. I became a man without a country, and I was as terrified of setting foot in the United States as I was of not surviving the trip."
