Texas border lawmaker calls Del Rio migrant situation 'an absolute powder keg'

DEL RIO, Texas — The situation at an impromptu migrant camp in Del Rio is expected to get worse in the coming days, according to a conversation between the congressman who represents the area and the Washington Examiner.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, a first-term Republican, predicted Tuesday that based on the intelligence and information he receives from federal and state law enforcement, community leaders, residents, and the U.S. and Mexican governments, the migrant camp at the international bridge may soon implode.
