IEDs Were Found - US Issues 'Do Not Travel' Warning For Several US–Mexico Border Areas
The U.S. State Department has issued the highest-level travel warning for some Mexican towns next to the U.S.–Mexico border due to elevated risks over kidnappings, gun battles, and improvised explosives devices (IEDs).
A bulletin released by the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico said a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisory has been issued for parts of Tamaulipas state. It cites Reynosa, Rio Bravo, Valle Hermoso, and San Fernando, where IEDs have been found. The area borders the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
The warning also confirmed that officials are “aware of increasingly frequent gun battles occurring in and around Reynosa in the late night and early morning hours.”
“An IED destroyed a Government of Mexico (Conagua) official vehicle in Rio Bravo and injured its occupant on January 23,” the statement said. As a result, U.S. government officials were ordered to avoid travel near Rio Bravo and Reynosa outside of daytime and to stay away from dirt roads across Tamaulipas state, which shares a lengthy border with southern Texas.

Biden Judge Halts Trump's Federal Grant Funding Freeze
Update (1830ET): That didn't take long…
One day after the Trump administration suspended grants, loans, and other financial assistance while programs undergo a comprehensive review, a Biden-appointed judge temporarily blocked the pause.
US District Judge Loren L. KliKhan, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden in 2022, issued an administration stay that lasts until Monday afternoon, and only applies to existing programs, AP reports.
Administration officials said the decision to halt loans and grants — a financial lifeline for local governments, schools and nonprofit organizations around the country — was necessary to ensure that spending complies with Trump’s recent blitz of executive orders. The Republican president wants to increase fossil fuel production, remove protections for transgender people and end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. -AP
According to AliKhan, "It seems like the federal government currently doesn’t actually know the full extent of the programs that are going to be subject to the pause."
Attorney Jessica Norton, who represents the National Council of Nonprofits who brought the suit, said that the group has tens of thousands of members across the country that could be affected.
"Our client members have reported being extremely concerned about having to shutter if there’s even a brief pause," she said.
That said, DOJ attorney David Schwei said the plaintiffs hadn't identified a single person would would lose funding right away if the pause goes into effect.
