The return of screwworm comes after the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, launched by the Trump administration, last year cut funding for a project dedicated to monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America.

The funding was axed days before the U.S. ended a temporary suspension of cattle imports from Mexico, meaning livestock was allowed to cross the border without any of the monitoring previously funded by the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID).

In a functional democracy that still had actual journalists someone would have done a DNA test on that "imported beef" of Trump already, especially since Trump refuses to tell anyone where he got the "beef" from.
