    Two Texas sheriffs refused requests from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to help transport migrants into the country, saying they could not allocate limited local resources to support undocumented immigrants. CBP reportedly asked Brooks County Sheriff Urbino "Benny" Martinez and Nueces County Sheriff John Hooper for support transporting migrants into the country amid a surge of arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border. "We just don't have any resources," Martinez told Newsweek...Martinez said his town of Falfurrias lacks a bus depot, a hospital, COVID-19 testing infrastructure and social service organizations, all of which are needed to support the migrants.
