🇺🇸🇲🇽Mexican driver who ran over a group of migrants in Texas is accused of involuntary manslaughter

The man who crashed an SUV into a group of migrants at a bus stop in this Texas border city has been charged with eight counts of involuntary manslaughter, police said Monday, describing the driver as a local with an "extensive sheet of criminal record".

The driver, identified by authorities as 34-year-old George Alvarez, killed eight people and injured at least 10 when he crashed into a crowd early Sunday, authorities said.

The victims were waiting at a bus stop near the Ozanam Center, an immigration relief center in Brownsville, a senior law enforcement official said.

Brownsville Police Chief Felix Sauceda said authorities are investigating the incident and have not ruled out the possibility that the accident was intentional.

Authorities are awaiting the results of a formal toxicology report to see if Alvarez was drunk at the time of the accident.

ICC rejected the Maduro Gov's request to respond to the victims

The Chamber of Preliminary Affairs I of the International Criminal Court (ICC) rejected the request of the Nicolás Maduro regime to respond to the victims who presented their testimonies in support of the continuation of the investigation for crimes against humanity in Venezuela.

The judges rejected the authorization requested by the regime to present a reply to the report of the Victim Participation and Reparations Section (VPRS), which compiled the opinions and concerns of more than 8,900 victims in support of the investigation of the prosecutor of the ICC, Karim Khan.

“The Chamber will not grant Venezuela such authorization in the present case (…) the VPRS Report conveys the opinions and concerns of the possible victims. At this stage, no victim has been admitted to participate in the process and therefore the level of response anticipated by Venezuela is not justified at the current stage. In these circumstances, the Chamber does not consider it necessary to receive additional communications from Venezuela or from any other participant in this proceeding," the judges stated in their decision, dated May 4.

In this way, the regime did not achieve its objective of further delaying the process in the ICC, to prevent the investigation from being resumed.
