El Paso mayor grabs microphone and walks out of tense immigration press conference - as migrants are spotted emerging from SEWERS to enter the Texas city amid border crisis
2022-12-17
  • The mayor of El Paso, Texas bizarrely tried to walk out on a press conference Friday

  • Mayor Oscar Leeser
    ...Democrat, elected in 2021 after previously serving from 2013-2017, replacing the Republican who had replaced him...
    was challenged on why the city had not declared a state of emergency over the worsening migrant crisis

  • It comes as witnesses claim they have even seen immigrants emerging from manholes in the area

  • Mayor Leeser claims a state of emergency wouldn't help El Paso to get any more than the $6 million commitment from FEMA to stop the wave

  • However, when the city manager Mario D'Agostino disagreed with him, Leeser began to walk off and tried to take the microphone from D'Agostino
