The U.S. and Mexico are one step closer to permanently ending a sewage crisis spewing from across the border into waters off the coast of San Diego, Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin announced."This week, EPA transmitted to Mexico a proposed 100% solution that would PERMANENTLY END the decades-old crisis of raw sewage flowing in to the U.S. from Mexico. Next, technical groups from both nations will be meeting to work through the details necessary to hopefully reach an urgent agreement," Zeldin posted to X on Friday.Zeldin visited San Diego last month, where he announced talks with his government counterparts in Mexico to end the decades-long issue. The problem, blamed on outdated wastewater infrastructure, has persisted for decades, but has spiraled in recent years as Tijuana's population skyrocketed.The sewage water has not only threatened San Diego's massive tourism industry and local residents, but also poses a national security risk as it pollutes the waters where U.S. Navy SEAL members and candidates train, Fox Digital previously reported.EPA CHIEF ZELDIN LAUNCHES TALKS WITH MEXICO TO END SEWAGE HITTING SAN DIEGO, NAVY SEALS: 'OUT OF PATIENCE'The U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command is headquartered in San Diego and is where Navy SEAL candidates complete their arduous six-month Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training at the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado.In February, the Department of Defense's inspector general released a report finding that the Naval Special Warfare Center reported 1,168 cases of acute gastrointestinal illnesses among SEAL candidates between January 2019 and May 2023 that were attributed to the contaminated water.Veterans who spoke to Fox News Digital in April described the contaminated water as a national security crisis."This is a huge national crisis," Navy SEAL vet Jeff Gum, who was sickened by the water when he was working through SEAL training in 2008, told Fox Digital in a Zoom interview last month. "Like half the SEAL teams are located in San Diego; the other half are in Virginia Beach. So when you've got half the SEAL teams who are getting exposed to this, then it's a major issue."EPA CHIEF TAKES ON MEXICAN 'SEWAGE CRISIS' FLOWING INTO US WATERS WHERE NAVY SEALS TRAINZeldin said last month that he and his counterparts in Mexico had launched good-faith talks to update infrastructure and water management facilities, adding that he zeroed in on the "specifics," including drafting a "comprehensive list of everything that we believe with full confidence is going to end the crisis" on both the U.S. side of the border and Mexico's."Now, if you don't do all of the other projects and all you do is clean up the current contamination, that feel-good moment will last about a day," Zeldin said during a press conference in San Diego last month. "We have to stop the flow in. Mexico needs to fulfill its part in cleaning up the contamination that they caused."MEXICO IS POISONING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN A BORDER CRISIS ALMOST NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT"We need Mexico to not just commit to all the projects that will stop the flow, but in order to actually finish this project, they're going to need to commit to that final cleanup," he added.Zeldin first addressed the sewage problem in March before previewing the trip to take on the issue."I was just briefed that Mexico is dumping large amounts of raw sewage into the Tijuana River, and its now seeping into the U.S.," he posted to X on March 8. "This is unacceptable. Mexico MUST honor its commitments to control this pollution and sewage!"Local leaders have been sounding the alarm on the sewage problem. Imperial Beach's Mayor Paloma Aguirre sent a letter to Zeldin in March describing how the raw sewage has sparked one of "Americas most horrendous environmental and public health disasters," as billions of gallons have polluted the Pacific Ocean since 2023 alone.MEXICAN SEWAGE GUSHING INTO NAVY SEAL TRAINING WATERS IS US' 'NEXT CAMP LEJEUNE,' VETS WARN"The toxic sewage coming across the border from Mexico into South San Diego County is among Americas most horrendous environmental and public health disasters," Aguirre's March 3 letter to Zeldin, published online, reads. "Since 2023, over 31 billion gallons of raw sewage, polluted stormwater and trash have flowed across the Mexican border, down the Tijuana River, through the cities of San Diego and Imperial Beach and into the Pacific Ocean.""Our residents, are getting ill due to polluted air," the letter continued. "Workers, including Navy Seals training in the area, have been sickened on the job by waterborne and aerosolized diseases. Many homeowners have been forced to place air quality monitors on their property so they know whether or not it's safe to go outside. And the economic impact is profound, with the sewage crisis hurting area tourism, maritime industry jobs and local property values."San Diego is one of the nation's top cities for tourism behind other national treasures such as New York City, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. attracting roughly 32 million tourists to the city in 2024, the San Diego Tourism Authority previously reported.SAN DIEGO SUBURB FACES 'SEWAGE CRISIS' FROM LOCAL BEACHDuring his visit to San Diego last month, Zeldin vowed to bring an end to the issue as Californians run out of patience with the crisis."The Americans on our side of the border who have been dealing with this for decades, are out of patience," Zeldin said at a Tuesday press conference in San Diego. "There's no way that we are going to stand before the people of California and ask them to have more patience and just bear with all of us as we go through the next 10 or 20 or 30 years of being stuck in 12 feet of raw sewage and not getting anywhere.""So we are all out of patience," he continued. "There's a very limited opportunity. We're in good faith, both on the American side and also on the Mexican side, what's being communicated by the new Mexican president is an intense desire to fully resolve this situation."

The Florida Gators men's baseball team opened their three-game series against the Texas Longhorns with an 8-2 victory. But, much of the chatter ended up revolving around a Texas player's at-bat.Jonah Williams, a freshman at Texas, appeared to spark some discontent from the Florida faithful late in the game. The Longhorns, trailing 8-1 in the seventh inning, did not stop Williams from making exuberant expressions in reaction to seemingly every pitch he saw when he was in the batter's box.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMTexas did have a runner on base during Williams' much-discussed at-bat. If Williams drove in that runner, the deficit would've been cut to six.CHARLES BARKLEY CALLS NCAA A 'BUNCH OF IDIOTS AND FOOLS' AMID CURRENT NIL LANDSCAPENevertheless, the Texas freshman used his time in the batter's box to pump himself up and seemingly to encourage his teammates not to give up on rallying.But, Williams' tactics seemed to quickly evolve from motivational to taunting.Williams ultimately earned a free trip to first base after four pitches landed outside the strike zone. But, during his walk to first, Williams tossed his bat aside and nodded his head.The behavior sparked some questions from fans and other observers, considering he was not gearing up to circle the bases after a home run or any other clutch base hit.Some critics even suggested Williams' dictated a response from Florida's baseball team. On Saturday, the second game of the series, Williams stepped up to the plate and hit a bases-clearing double. The hit helped lift Texas to a 5-2 victory.The third game of the series is set for this afternoon.Williams also plays for the Texas football team.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. said his teams fans have turned on him in the worst way.After a rough start on Saturday, where he allowed seven earned runs in just one-third of an inning pitched against the Cincinnati Reds, McCullers said he received death threats from Astros fans online."I understand people are very passionate and people love the Astros and love sports, but threatening to find my kids and murder them is a little bit tough to deal with," the 31-year-old right-hander said. "So, just as a father, I think there have been many, many threats over the years aimed at me mostly, and I think actually one or two people from other issues around baseball actually had to go to jail for things like that.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"But I think bringing kids into the equation, threatening to find them or next time they see us in public, theyre going to stab my kids to death, things like that, its tough to hear as a dad."Houston Police Department and MLB security have both been alerted to the threats against McCullers, the organization said.This was only McCullers second start for the Astros since the 2022 World Series, as hes been battling through several injuries over the last two seasons.PAT MCAFEE SHARES MESSAGE WISHING DEATH ON HIMSELF, INFANT DAUGHTER FOLLOWING CANADA COMMENTSIt was disastrous from the start as Elly De La Cruz hit a three-run homer after McCullers walked TJ Friedl and hit Matt McLain with a pitch to start the game. McCullers got an out following the home run, but two more walks and two hits after that quickly turned the game to a 5-0 lead.Manager Joe Espada had to pull the plug on McCullers, but the base runners on second and third were still his responsibility. They came across later in the 10-run first inning for Cincinnati.Espada also spoke on the death threats against his veteran starter."There are people who are threatening his life and the life of his kids because of his performance," Espada explained. "It is very unfortunate that we have to deal with this. After all hes done for this city, for his team, the fact that we have to talk about that in my office I got kids, too, and it really drives me nuts that we have to deal with this. Very sad, very, very sad."McCullers is a two-time World Series champion trying to find consistency on the mound once again. His injury problems began in spring training in 2023, when a muscle strain in his pitching arm shut him down. Then, in June of that year, he underwent season-ending surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his arm as well as remove a bone spur.McCullers rehab didnt go as planned either. In July 2024, he was shut down from throwing and it was announced he would miss the entire season. He would finally get his chance back on the mound on May 4, where he threw three scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox."If you fail, you fail on a very large stage (with) a lot of eyes and theres nowhere to hide," McCullers added. "At the end of the day, I just want to do my job. I just want to be a good pitcher for the Astros, and I believe Ill get there. But, like I said, I just think that having to worry about that, worry about leaving town and leaving them and things like that or dropping her off at school, I just think there should be some type of decency."McCullers, who made the All-Star team in 2017, owns a career 3.55 ERA with the Astros, even after his rough outing on Saturday. He also has a 3.47 ERA in 19 postseason games, all with Houston.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
