Beto O'Rourke in Mexico

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke has crossed the border into Mexico for the funeral of one of the 22 people killed in a shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.

The former El Paso congressman said Thursday he came to the border city of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, "to remind the world that we are a binational community."

O'Rourke says the family that invited him to the funeral asked that he not identify the victim.

imMexican officials have said eight of the people killed in Saturday's attack were Mexican nationals. Authorities believe the 21-year-old suspected gunman posted a racist, anti-immigrant screed online shortly before opening fire.

I lost my beloved 14yr old cat in June, and have now acquired the middle-aged stray cat I have been feeding for years but could never adopt because he kept attacking my beloved old cat
