A prominent family medicine doctor based in a Texas border city made a plea to the Biden administration this week to halt all border activity as his community grapples with a troubling influx of COVID-19 cases. Many in mainstream media claim the surge in COVID cases across the country can't be tied to the southern border.

Immigrants released by Customs and Border Protection are dropped off with Catholic Charities and tested for COVID by a third party. Local authorities in the Rio Grande Valley were not notified, they said.
