Mexico’s southern California region has experienced heavy rainfall, leading to significant damage and severe flooding. The storms, originating from the United States and Australia, have caused several deaths, as reported by Marina del Pilar, the governor of the region. Due to the magnitude of the disaster, a state of emergency has been declared. The region has also become a safe haven for thousands of displaced individuals from different countries who are facing danger in their home countries and elsewhere.

Prior to this, a judge named Maria Elena Andrade from southern California revealed the deaths of three surfers: Jake and Callum Robins from Australia and Jack Carter from the United States. They had been swept away by the strong currents and rip currents during the floods, and were last seen on April 27. Local newspaper El Universal has reported that the surfers were attacked by smugglers who took advantage of the flooded areas for transportation. Witnesses have recounted the incident, stating that the attackers opened fire on the surfers, causing them to jump into the water in an attempt to escape.

In response to this act of violence, authorities have apprehended three individuals who are believed to be linked to the murders.
