Texas screwworm: Disaster in the office of Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins

 

Headline:  The Texas Tribune, 6/5/2026

 

Stephen Simpson and Berenice Garcia report on the time when Brooke was caught with her panties down:

Owens also took issue with Rollins blaming the proliferation of screwworm on President Joe Biden’s “open border” policies, which she said enabled the illicit movement of cattle throughout Mexico. 

“These flies do not fly to new areas on their own,” Rollins said during a call with media and officials on Thursday. “If they move, it’s because they are moving with the animal.” 

Owens pointed out that the USDA, under the Biden administration, closed ports of entry to cattle from Mexico in November 2024. The Trump administration announced their reopening in February 2025 only to shut them down again in May 2025. [emphasis added]
