Lawmakers propose bills to address asylum seeker situation Koetzle was surprised to find a nearby town with a motel full of migrants. And he soon found out, so was Rotterdam. “Our state representatives, our federal representatives, county representatives, nobody had any idea what was going on. That is unacceptable.”Those staying at the Super 8 Motel were forced to leave and fend for themselves. Some staying for more than a year, whereas others just arriving for work or social services. “I came all the way from Florida on a nursing contract. This is where the agency put me.

Logan Webb finally gets some run support as SF Giants thump Rockies for second straight win

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:11:08 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Two games into the stretch that will define their season, the Giants are taking care of business.If one tenuous win over one of the league’s bottom feeders didn’t entirely stop the bleeding from a skid that dropped them all the way back to .500, how about a second? And a convincing thumping at that, 9-1, finally giving Logan Webb some run support Saturday night in their 15th win in their past 16 meetings with the last-place Rockies (51-90), who won’t make this three-game set their first series win against an NL West foe this season.While hardly a crowning achievement, the Giants (72-70) couldn’t ask for a better start to a stretch of 10 games against sub-.500 competition. But their fate is out of their hands, and their latest win didn’t make up any ground on the D-backs (75-68), who beat the Cubs in extra innings to maintain a 2½-game lead on the third and final National League wild card. They pulled even with the Reds (73-71), with the ...

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Quinn Ewers finished what he started last season, passing for 349 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 11 Texas to a 34-24 victory over third-ranked Alabama on Saturday night in a huge win for a program trying to climb back into national championship contention.The Longhorns (2-0) delivered the biggest victory under Steve Sarkisian in a game that slipped away last season after a red-hot Ewers exited because of a first-quarter shoulder injury.
