Immigration

Over 40 people were taken into custody by state and federal law enforcement agencies during the April raid. Since then, advocates and local officials haven't received information about what happened and why.

The ruling was a win for immigrant advocacy groups that sued over the president's order, which they say put thousands of lives at risk.

The directive comes after a court rescinded undocumented students’ eligibility for in-state tuition. It’s unclear what information schools might ask from students and how their immigration data will be protected.

Texas officials suggested the federal government could pick up construction. However, during President Trump’s first term, his administration built about one-third of what the state was able to put up in the same amount of time.

The county doesn’t have authority to make federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, comply with the resolution. But local activists say the resolution is meant to remind everyone that immigrants have rights in the U.S.

Saturday's event at the Capitol remained peaceful. The Texas Department of Public Safety made one arrest earlier in the day related to threats against state lawmakers who were expected to speak.

Many residents without legal status are staying away from anti-ICE protests because they don't feel safe. More demonstrations are planned for the weekend.

Their filing says the lawsuit that struck down in-state tuition for undocumented students was “contrived” to keep their voices out.

Troops have already been deployed to Los Angeles and San Antonio. Nationwide protests are planned for Saturday.

The resolution, which was passed unanimously, states the legal and moral responsibility of local authorities to treat migrants "with dignity and respect."
