📰 Texas summer camp evacuated 70 staying near river ahead of flooding: ‘Saw it coming’
A Texas summer camp near the Guadalupe River evacuated 70 children and adults due to rising waters and heavy rain on the Fourth of July. The camp, Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly, had been monitoring the situation for about 24 hours before relocating the individuals to higher ground. Despite the lack of warning from local authorities, camp officials acted swiftly to ensure the safety of the campers. The camp, located at the headwaters of the river, avoided a catastrophe that hit another camp near Hunt, Texas. The camp’s Christian-based values helped prepare the campers to remain strong and resilient during the emergency.
The flash floods in Texas Hill Country left over 80 people dead and many others missing, including 10 girls from a nearby camp. Rescue teams continued to search for the missing individuals in the aftermath of the devastating floods. Mo-Ranch, situated on elevated ground, managed to safely evacuate all campers and guests, despite being without power. Camp officials made proactive decisions to move people to higher ground well in advance of the flooding, showcasing their preparedness and quick action during the crisis.
Mo-Ranch received no direct warning from county officials about the impending floods, highlighting the camp’s reliance on weather reports and river monitoring. The camp’s staff promptly contacted parents to assure them of their children’s safety, recognizing the potential distress caused by media coverage of the floods. Despite some damage to the camp, including a kayak wrapped around a tree, Mo-Ranch remained grateful for the safety of its occupants. The camp remained closed as efforts were made to assist other camps affected by the flood, emphasizing a sense of solidarity among the camp community during challenging times.

📰 Marines team up with ICE in bold move to boost ‘threat awareness’ at critical military bases
The U.S. Marine Corps, in collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has initiated a pilot program to station ICE agents at three major military bases: Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Base Quantico, and Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The purpose of this program is to enhance security around the bases, although the lack of transparency regarding its inception has raised concerns. Pentagon officials highlighted the cooperative nature of the effort, emphasizing that the presence of ICE personnel enhances force protection by increasing visibility and threat awareness. The decision to install ICE agents follows incidents like the 2023 breach attempt by two Jordanian nationals at Quantico, who were later arrested. Additional concerns include drone contraband-smuggling incursions and reports of Chinese nationals attempting to breach U.S. military bases. Despite the security measures, there is skepticism about involving ICE, with concerns that it may imply a lack of confidence in the Marine Corps’ security capabilities.
