White House distances itself from Texas guard member border death

The White House distanced itself from the death of Texas National Guard member Bishop Evans, who drowned while trying to save migrants struggling to cross the Rio Grande.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki emphasized that Evans, 22, was employed by the Texas state government under Operation Lone Star when asked whether President Joe Biden’s administration was responsible for his death as border communities brace for a surge in migrants during the summer months and after the rolling back of Title 42 on May 23.
