Quick Glance: Helicopter Crash Along US-Mexico Border in Texas Claims 3 Lives
- A helicopter carrying three National Guard members and a Border Patrol agent crashed along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, resulting in the death of three individuals on board, according to a county official.
- Starr County Judge Eloy Vera confirmed that a fourth person on board was in critical condition and that the crash occurred near the small town of La Grulla.
- The Starr County Sheriff's Office mentioned on Facebook that they were assisting with a 'downed helicopter incident' on the east side of the county.
- In January, a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter patrolling the state’s border with Mexico lost power and crashed, causing minor injuries to the co-pilot and significant damage to the helicopter.

Dem gov recriminalizes drug possession despite voter referendum after overdose deaths, crime surge in Oregon
nypost.com/2024/04/02/us-news/oregon-recriminalizes-drugs-after-upswing-in-overdose-deaths/
Quick Glance: Oregon Governor Signs Law Recriminalizing Drug Possession
- Oregon's Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek, signed a law that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, putting an end to an initial experiment with decriminalization.
- The new law makes personal drug possession a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and encourages treatment options as an alternative to criminal penalties.
- According to Kotek, the success of the law relies on close coordination between courts, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and local mental health providers to achieve the intended goals.
- The changes will be effective on September 1 after Oregon Democrats shifted their stance on decriminalization due to pressures from the fentanyl crisis and implementation issues.
