A Texas border mayor is begging President Biden to help his town struggling under extreme weather conditions, the coronavirus pandemic, and an influx of undocumented migrants crossing the border. "I am pleading and requesting with you to please put a halt to any measures regarding the release of immigrants awaiting court dates, into the city of Del Rio and surrounding areas," Bruno Lozano, Mayor of Del Rio, Texas said in a video message to Biden Wednesday. But water resources in the Lone Star state have been jeopardized and 7 million people have been placed under an advisory to boil water prior to any consumption – including those in Del Rio. Apart from requesting additional aid to address migrant needs, he said the town is in dire need of supplies, water, and "an equal distribution of power" throughout Del Rio. Fox News could not immediately reach the Texas mayor or the White House to confirm whether the Biden administration received his plea for help.
