<p>A horrific incident was reported from a Texas asphalt facility where a worker was buried under three feet of hot tar after a tank filled with 50,000 gallons of the substance ruptured. Asphalt went everywhere, as people reported hearing an explosion and the black substance falling down. One man was unaccounted for when emergency responders reached Martin Asphalt at around 3:30 pm on Wednesday after receiving a call about the spill. Alma Alanis, the city of South Houston’s emergency management coordinator, said at a press conference that after they reached the site, one worker was missing, who was later found buried under the piping hot tar. "We have not been able to confirm the identity. Once we do, we will notify the next of kin," Alanis said on Wednesday. Reports suggest that the tar was nearly 100 degrees Celsius when the tank burst, flooding the area and burying one of the men three feet under it, KHOU reported. Martin Midstream Partners LP CFO Sharon Taylor told ABC13 that the body was recovered. The cause of the tank rupture is unknown, and an investigation has been initiated.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/deadly-beats-linked-to-mass-chicken-deaths-in-india-loud-dj-triggers-cardiac-arrest-in-140-birds-1777550723373"><strong>Deadly beats linked to mass chicken deaths in India: Loud DJ triggers cardiac arrest in 140 birds</strong></a></p><h2><strong>Clean-up efforts at the Texas asphalt facility could take days</strong></h2><p>“Martin Asphalt confirms with deep regret that an employee involved in a recent incident at our South Houston, Texas, asphalt terminal has died,” Taylor said in a statement.

<p>A mysterious unidentified fireball was seen zig-zagging through the sky over Texas on Tuesday night, with some calling it a UFO because of its strange trajectory. This is the fourth such object in a week, and fifth overall in 2026, to make an appearance anywhere in the world - Ohio, Turkey, Australia and New York. The object was captured over Red Oak, and videos show an orange fireball that went against the laws of physics. A typical meteor moves in a straight line and either crashes or burns up in the atmosphere. However, the mystery visitor in Texas moved bizarrely. The object was plummeting to the ground and suddenly changed direction, turning upwards. The Pennsylvania and Ohio fireball was seen streaking through the sky on Tuesday morning.

Up, down, hover – no straight drop." Some suggested that it could be a skydiver, and smirked at those proposing it was a "controlled" object. The most strange thing this object did was shooting up when it should have fallen down. "Meteors burn straight paths while fragmenting from atmospheric friction, yet this one moves with eerie precision, almost like it's piloted," a user wrote. Its movement defies logic and science, and hints at the possibility that it was an artificial object. Strange acting lights were also seen in New York City 10 days ago. They steered, stopped and hovered and appeared to be chasing each other.&nbsp;</p>

A former school district police officer was cleared on Wednesday evening of allegations that he failed to carry out his duties by not confronting the gunman during the crucial early minutes of the 2022 mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.

<p>Electric utilities have in the past taken responsibility for wildfires across the US, citing instances such as fallen power lines causing a blaze in Maui last year and transmission lines sparking a significant California wildfire in 2019.</p>

<p>The Texas wildfire is part of a series of fires that erupted in the rural Panhandle last week, leading to evacuation orders in several small communities.</p>

<p>Officials estimate that up to 500 structures may have been destroyed in these fires, including the Smokehouse Creek fire, which is now the largest in Texas history.</p>

<p>As of Wednesday (March 6), this wildfire, which also extended into neighboring Oklahoma, was approximately 44 per cent contained.</p>

<p>A lawsuit filed on Friday (March 1) in Hemphill County alleged that a downed power line near the town of Stinnett on Feb&nbsp;26 sparked the blaze.</p>

<p>Filed on behalf of homeowner Melanie McQuiddy against Xcel Energy Services Inc. and two other utilities, the lawsuit claimed that the fire originated when a wooden pole, inadequately inspected and maintained by the defendants, splintered and snapped off at its base.</p>

<p>Last week rainfall brought some relief to Texas, home to the largest wildfire in its history, according to officials.&nbsp;</p>

Xcel Energy, the utility provider on Thursday (March 8) stated that its facilities may have played a role in triggering a massive wildfire in the Texa Panhandle, which has now become the largest blaze in the state's history. Texas authorities are still investigating the fire, which has scorched nearly 1,700 square miles (4,400 square kilometers) and caused the destruction of numerous structures. Also read: Wildfires in Texas: Immediate evacuation ordered Contrary to claims of negligence in maintaining and operating infrastructure, the Minnesota-based company said in a statement that it disputes claims that “it acted negligently” in maintaining and operating infrastructure. “Based on currently available information, Xcel Energy acknowledges that its facilities appear to have been involved in an ignition of the Smokehouse Creek fire,” the company said in a statement. Watch: Wildfires in Texas ravage over 500,000 acres, prompt evacuation orders × Electric utilities have in the past taken responsibility for wildfires across the US, citing instances such as fallen power lines causing a blaze in Maui last year and transmission lines sparking a significant California wildfire in 2019. The Texas wildfire is part of a series of fires that erupted in the rural Panhandle last week, leading to evacuation orders in several small communities. Officials estimate that up to 500 structures may have been destroyed in these fires, including the Smokehouse Creek fire, which is now the largest in Texas history. As of Wednesday (March 6), this wildfire, which also extended into neighboring Oklahoma, was approximately 44 per cent contained.

Filed on behalf of homeowner Melanie McQuiddy against Xcel Energy Services Inc. and two other utilities, the lawsuit claimed that the fire originated when a wooden pole, inadequately inspected and maintained by the defendants, splintered and snapped off at its base. Last week rainfall brought some relief to Texas, home to the largest wildfire in its history, according to officials.

<p>The pregnant Texas teenager who had been incommunicado since last Friday (Dec 22) was found dead by police on Tuesday (Dec 26) just days ahead of her scheduled induction. 18-year-old <strong>Savanah Nicole Soto</strong> was found dead alongside her boyfriend <strong>Matthew Guerra</strong>, 22, in the latter’s car at Medical Apartments in San Antonio, according to Police Chief Bill McManus.</p>

<p>Police are investigating this case as a “possible murder.” “What we’re looking at right now is a very, very perplexing crime scene … Detectives right now are looking at this as a possible murder,” McManus said at a press conference.</p>

<p>“We believe that is the missing woman and her boyfriend but we can’t confirm that right now officially until the medical examiner takes a look at the bodies and makes that determination as to their identity,” he stated.</p>

<p>Police did not inform whether Soto’s fully-developed foetus survived and how the couple died.</p>

<p>According to the New York Post, a family member first discovered the car Tuesday evening and found the two dead bodies inside.</p>

<p>A jury in the US state of Texas has sentenced a man charged with killing Sandeep Dhaliwal, America's first turbaned Sikh police officer, to death.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sandeep Dhaliwal, who was the first Sikh deputy for the Harris County department, was killed in the line of duty in September 2019, Fox News reported. He had pulled Solis up with a warrant for his arrest for violating parole at the time of the shooting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Verdict is in: Jurors sentence Robert Solis to death. We are extremely grateful that justice has been served. Sandeep changed our Sheriff's Office family for the better, and we continue striving to live up to his example of servant leadership. May he Rest In Peace," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The verdict was announced Wednesday, to sentence Solis to death, less than two weeks after he was found guilty of the murder of Deputy Dhaliwal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The defendant executed a uniformed deputy by shooting him in the head in broad daylight," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That makes him the worst of the worst, which is why we asked jurors to sentence him to death."&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the verdict was announced, Harris County Sheriff's Office paid tribute to the Sikh cop, saying he was known for his sense of humour and ability to make personal connections with his fellow deputies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Governor <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/shooter-among-one-dead-in-texas-church-attack-270896">Greg Abbott</a> of&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;on Friday became the&nbsp;first&nbsp;governor in the United&nbsp;States to&nbsp;refuse&nbsp;to accept&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;under&nbsp;an executive&nbsp;order&nbsp;requiring local jurisdictions to actively opt into the federal resettlement program.</p>

<p>The decision is a major blow to the program since&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;is the largest recipient of&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;in the country.</p>

<p>"At this time, the&nbsp;state&nbsp;and non-profit organizations have a responsibility to dedicate available resources to those who are already here, including&nbsp;refugees, migrants and the homeless," Abbott, a Republican, said in his letter to the US&nbsp;State&nbsp;Department.</p>

<p>"As a result,&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;cannot consent," to refugee resettlement this fiscal year, he said.</p>

<p>A&nbsp;State&nbsp;Department official said the executive&nbsp;order&nbsp;signed by President <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/canada-under-pressure-at-home-over-plane-crash-warns-iran-world-is-watching-273502">Donald&nbsp;Trump</a>&nbsp;only affects the federal government’s decision about where to place&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;immediately after they arrive. It does not apply to a refugee's spouse or unmarried children&nbsp;under&nbsp;21 who are being admitted to join them in the United&nbsp;States, the official said.</p>

<p>Refugees&nbsp;who are initially settled in another US&nbsp;state&nbsp;can subsequently move to&nbsp;Texas, but they would not have access to federal resettlement benefits, such as housing, there, resettlement agencies say.</p>

<p>"This is a deeply disappointing decision," said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president and chief executive officer of the resettlement agency Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS). "Historically,&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;has served as a beacon of hope for&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;from across the globe."</p>

<p>So far, 41 governors,18 of them Republican and at least seven dozen local officials have consented to resettlement, according to an LIRS tally.</p>

<p>Florida and Georgia, other major recipients of&nbsp;refugees, have so far remained silent on their stance. The governor's office in Florida said it was still reviewing the issue and Georgia declined to comment.</p>

<p>Cutting immigration has been a centrepiece of&nbsp;Trump's presidency and 2020 re-election campaign. One of his&nbsp;first&nbsp;acts after assuming office in January 2017 was to issue an&nbsp;order&nbsp;capping the maximum number of&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;that year at 50,000. Since then, the cap has been slashed every year.</p>

<p>Trump&nbsp;set a ceiling of 18,000 refugee admissions for this year, the lowest level since the modern refugee program began in 1980. By contrast, former Democratic President Barack Obama proposed resettling 110,000&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;in the 2017 fiscal year ending in September.</p>

<p>Approximately 2,500&nbsp;refugees&nbsp;were resettled in&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;in the 2019 fiscal year, down 70 per cent from fiscal 2016, according to&nbsp;State&nbsp;Department data.</p>

<p>The administration has said the consent requirement, signed in September, aimed to ensure receiving communities have the resources to integrate&nbsp;refugees.</p>

<p>But refugee resettlement groups have argued that giving local governors and mayors a veto over whom they accept is unconstitutional and would disrupt the way they work.</p>

<p>Three of the nine national resettlement agencies sued the&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;administration in federal court in an effort to block the&nbsp;order&nbsp;from being implemented.</p>

<p>Arguments in the case were held this week, and US&nbsp;District Judge Peter Messitte in Greenbelt, Maryland, appointed by former Democratic President <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-senate-leader-ready-to-pass-impeachment-trial-rules-without-democrats-272835">Bill Clinton</a>, could rule on the case soon.</p>

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas on Friday became the first governor in the United States to refuse to accept refugees under an executive order requiring local jurisdictions to actively opt into the federal resettlement program. The decision is a major blow to the program since Texas is the largest recipient of refugees in the country. "At this time, the state and non-profit organizations have a responsibility to dedicate available resources to those who are already here, including refugees, migrants and the homeless," Abbott, a Republican, said in his letter to the US State Department.
