U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Laredo Border Sector took 100 undocumented immigrants into custody after they were found crammed inside two tractor-trailers in separate incidents near the United States-Mexico border region in Texas. The most recent smuggling attempt was foiled Tuesday when agents working a U.S. Highway 83 checkpoint northwest of Laredo and discovered 93 people in the cargo area after a Border Patrol canine alerted the officers. The migrants, who were all illegally in the U.S., were identified as citizens of  Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.  Two days earlier, on Sunday, border officers ordered a driver to stop his truck for a routine inspection and found 10 Mexican nationals crammed in the back. In both cases, the migrants and the drivers were taken into custody for processing. A CBP spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas had taken over the investigation.  Data provided to Da

The situation has escalated to the stage where the regular postman says he has resorted to wearing a hard hat in a bid to prevent serious injury from the rogue seagulls.  The birds are currently nesting on the rooftops of homes and have been swooping down as posties approach. Their feisty flights are happening as they bid to protect their young, with little chicks spotted walking along the rooftops. The regular postie is now off on leave but his brave stand-in described how she'd also be attacked in recent weeks.

But the Queensland government has put a halt to the Covid bubble reunion after telling NRL bosses on Thursday they want 'more information' before giving the green light.  The plan had been for the families to spend two weeks in quarantine at two Gold Coast resorts before joining the players in their respective hubs.  Benji Marshall's wife Zoe (pictured together) was expected to travel to Queensland on Saturday  NRL boss Andrew Abdo wrote to the players' partners on Thursday letting them know Queensland had not been granted a travel exemption, The Courier Mail reported.

'I’m very proud that I believe that I am the first vice president to host you at the official residence of the vice president,' Harris added.  The home at One Observatory Circle was under renovation when Harris was sworn-in in January, but she's used it more recently to host a staff barbecue following reports of a toxic culture brewing at the VP's office.  Business Insider published a follow-up story quoting former Harris aides as they reacted to Politico's initial report that described, according to
