Two U.S. Navy ships collided in the Caribbean on Wednesday, resulting in minor injuries to two personnel, according to U.S. Southern Command. The incident involved the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply, and both ships are reportedly continuing to sail safely.
Col. Emmanuel Ortiz, a U.S. Southern Command spokesman, confirmed the collision, stating that it occurred during a replenishment-at-sea operation. He added that the two injured personnel were in stable condition. The USS Truxtun, which operates in the Mediterranean Sea, was involved in the incident.
In other news, an immigration judge terminated the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, an undocumented father of three U.S. Marines. Barranco, a 49-year-old Mexican national who has lived in the United States for three decades, was detained last June while landscaping in Southern California. He was subsequently placed in deportation proceedings but was released on a $3,000 bond in mid-July and fitted with an ankle monitor. This decision paves the way for Barranco to seek legal permanent residency in the United States.
Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a U.S. immigration enforcement surge is set to conclude, according to President Donald Trump's border tsar, Tom Homan. Homan announced that Trump had approved his request to end the operation, adding that he would remain in Minnesota "a little longer to oversee the drawdown, to ensure its success." The operation, known as Operation Metro Surge, led to the detention of numerous illegal immigrants who had committed violent crimes, but also sparked nationwide protests after two U.S. citizens were killed by immigration officers.
