Nepal Floods: Hundreds Dead, Over 1,000 Missing; ICE Agent Charged With Shooting Immigrant Released

Rescue teams searched Thursday for hundreds of missing people along the Nepal–China border, where a deadly torrent of water and mud several stories high swept through communities a day earlier following a glacier collapse.

Videos of the disaster showed people running, before the floodwaters swallowed them up and washed out buildings and bridges. More than 350 people were killed, police said, and more than 1,000 were missing, including scores of foreigners and pilgrims. Hundreds of others have been displaced across the Himalayan region.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer charged with shooting a Venezuelan immigrant and lying about it during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis was released from a Texas jail Thursday, after a judge declined to order his return to Minnesota.

The ICE officer, Christian Castro, was released in the morning from a detention center in Brownsville.
