We are treating the confirmed case of New World Screwworm in a Texas cattle ranch with the utmost seriousness and are responding aggressively alongside our state partners Texas Animal Health Commission. USDA's proactive actions bought us nearly a year to prepare, as models had projected New World Screwworm would reach the United States by the summer of 2025. That preparation allowed us to move immediately when this case was detected. After years of unchecked spread through Central and South America, this devastating pest has now reached the United States. The Trump Administration and USDA acted swiftly, activating our New World Screwworm Response Playbook, establishing quarantines and movement controls, accelerating sterile fly releases, expanding border trapping, and intensifying livestock and wildlife surveillance. We are using every tool available, in partnership with states, ranchers, and wildlife officials, to eradicate this pest before it can spread and threaten American cattle producers.

On the ground in South Texas at Chaparrosa Ranch — just miles from where the first New World Screwworm case was found. We rode the pastures, checked the cattle, and looked for anything out of the ordinary. The good news? That first calf is now completely healthy and back to normal 9 days later. This is the fight ahead of us — but we are ready. Equipped. And standing shoulder to shoulder with incredible cattlemen and cowboys like JR Ramirez who do this work every single day. If you see something, report it immediately. That’s how we get Dept. of Agriculture and Texas Animal Health Commission resources to you fast — and how we stay ahead of this threat.

.Secretary Brooke Rollins in Kerville, Texas: "We are here in Texas today to discuss the threat of the New World Screwworm and what it poses to our nation’s livestock and wildlife, as well as what we are doing to combat it with our state, local, and binational partners. Last Wednesday, June 3rd, USDA confirmed the presence of a New World Screwworm case within the United States in Texas, in the umbilical wound of a calf in Zavala County in southern Texas, where I will be heading. I will be down there on Thursday. The calf has been treated and is recovering. On June 5th, just two days later, we confirmed a second positive detection in a 30-day-old calf, also located just a few miles away in Zavala County. Yesterday, USDA confirmed two additional cases: one in Texas in a calf in LaSalle County, and another in Lea County, New Mexico, in a dog that we are hearing had been moved up from Mexico. And today, just a couple of hours ago, we had an additional confirmation in a goat in Gillespie County, Texas. These developments represent a serious threat to our livestock and wildlife, but they have not caught us off guard."

STEVE BANNON: It’s kinda the trifecta today. I came to Texas because Texas is the railhead of the MAGA movement and the grassroots - the Populist Nationalist grassroots. There’s a lot of issues going on here in Texas. Texas monumentally, in this term, took the first shot in this redistributing war. — 5 seats. That inspired everybody in the country to go through and get ready for this major redistributing war that we’re going to have.
