Texas Department Of Public Safety

Some Texas residents received multiple Blue Alerts about an injured police officer in Harris County on late Wednesday and early Thursday.

A second body was found about three miles upriver. DPS claimed the barrier was not to blame for the deaths. The buoys were installed in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass last month to deter migrant crossings.

Emails from the Texas Department of Public Safety allege state troopers witnessed several incidents of migrant abuse in Eagle Pass as part of Operation Lone Star, Gov. Greg Abbott's controversial border security initiative. State officials deny the allegations.

The pause comes after a DPS trooper shot a man in the arm early Monday and accusations that troopers pulled a gun on a man and his son after they tried to pull him over.

The Austin Police Department said it was revamping its deployment strategy after concerns were raised about troopers overpolicing certain neighborhoods.

Data on misdemeanor arrests show state troopers arrested 108 Latinos and 38 Black people, compared to six white people, from March 30 to April 22.

Austin Police said the bomb threat call it received was not credible.

It's still early days, but APD says violent crime has dropped 25% since it made a deal with the Texas Department of Public Safety. APD called the troopers' increased presence an "effective deterrent."

DPS troopers will focus on violent and traffic-related crimes. The length of the partnership and exactly how many troopers will help out is yet to be determined.

Crimson Elizondo was one of nearly 400 officers who responded to the May shooting at Robb Elementary School. At the time, Elizondo worked for the Texas Department of Public Safety. After her resignation, she was hired by Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District.
