Good morning. Welcome to Axios today. It's Monday, September 19th. I'm Nailibud. Here's what we're

covering today. The murky road ahead for migrants sent from Texas to Massachusetts. Plus, is the

pressure to free Brittany Griner fading? But first, Hurricane Fiona tests Puerto Rico's infrastructure.

That's today's one big thing. Fiona, the first major Atlantic hurricane of the season,

is bringing heavy rains, high winds, and widespread power outages to Puerto Rico. The power grid,

which was severely damaged during Hurricane Maria five years ago, failed yesterday afternoon,

and the entire island lost power even before Fiona made landfall. It's a continuation of years

of struggles with the island's power system. NBC News Digital reporter Nicole Acevedo has

been covering this since Hurricane Maria. Hi, Nicole. Hi. Nicole, this is a good time to remind people

that at least 3,000 Puerto Ricans died after Hurricane Maria, and many of those deaths were attributed

to a lack of electricity, especially for hospitals. What changes have been implemented to the power

grid since Hurricane Maria to try to prevent something like what we saw yesterday? Well, the reality

is that right after Maria, it took more than a year for just the recovery process of the power grid.

Right now, even five years since Maria, that's still what's holding up that power grid,

sort of that patchwork recovery effort just to get the lights on right after Maria.

And Sunday when Fiona was making landfall in Puerto Rico, you know, it felt a little bit like

deja vu. A lot of people in this hospital were trying to be relocated to other areas where the

generators were working, and that's the biggest piece of evidence to show that real progress has not

happened when it comes to recovery and reconstruction in Puerto Rico. So Nicole, I think the obvious

question here is what happened to the money that was allocated for fixing infrastructure after

Hurricane Maria? So yeah, the main thing is a lot of the money that has been spent already,

it's mostly that recovery process, which is just let's get things patched up so at least we can
