WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said July 5 that his administration is working with Texas state and local officials in response to the fatal flash flooding that has killed at least 27 people in the state, with potentially dozens of young campers and others still missing.
“Our Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, will be there shortly,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform Saturday. “Melania and I are praying for all of the families impacted by this horrible tragedy.”
The death toll continued to rise after flooding rains rapidly overwhelmed the Guadalupe River in Texas on Friday. That prompted a frantic and ongoing rescue effort that continued into Saturday, including a search for 27 missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls camp at the river’s edge in central Texas’ Kerr County.
