Mint Butterfield, 16, was located around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday inside a white van owned by "an adult friend," Christopher "Kio" Dizefalo, who was also in the vehicle, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office.

An immigration battle continues on the border between Texas and Mexico, as Texas's state government increases its militarization of the region, deploying hundreds of National Guard troops and constructing new infrastructure on the border. Meanwhile, a new federal spending bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden has increased funding for ICE and CBP, and state and federal courts have been wrangling over the legality of SB4, a new Texas state law that gives local police sweeping powers to arrest and deport anyone they suspect has entered the United States without authorization. We hear more from Fernando García, founder and executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights, in El Paso. García says the influx of special forces with "no training with how to deal with a civilian population," alongside the "show me your papers'' atmosphere created by SB4, is increasing the daily violence faced by Latinx residents on the U.S. side of the border, all while "illegally impeding" the right to seek asylum by those in "desperate" straits on the Mexico side. Instead of capitulating to anti-immigrant politicians, he continues, "We needed for the federal government to stop Texas, stop the governor" from targeting "Latinos, people of color, migrants and people looking for asylum, for protection."
