WEX Wakeup: Texas to keep floating Rio Grande barriers; Reflecting on US withdrawal from Afghanistan
#wexwakeup for Friday, September 8☕☀️
Texas will be allowed to keep its floating buoy barriers in the Rio Grande after a U.S. appeals court granted a temporary stay on Thursday.
The appeals court's ruling comes after a federal judge ordered the state of Texas to remove its floating barriers and refrain from building additional barriers to keep immigrants from crossing the border on Wednesday. It was not set to take effect until Sept. 15.
Fran Drescher shared her insights into what she called a "standstill" between studios and the Hollywood performers currently on strike, saying the companies hope to wait out union efforts.
The Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has been on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for 55 days as of Friday. Drescher, as the SAG-AFTRA president, gave an interview to NPR explaining the current state of negotiations.
Retired Gen. Frank McKenzie said he believes the delay in withdrawing troops from Afghanistan can be attributed to "American arrogance." He spoke to his many regrets about the withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in August 2021.
McKenzie, the head of United States Central Command at the time of the withdrawal, said in an interview with Fox News's Jennifer Griffin that he regretted the U.S.'s decision to "stay on until the very end," saying that often pushing that choice could land, and did land, the country in an "extremist situation."
