Most Texans couldn't pick the Land Commissioner out of a lineup if their property tax refund depended on it. That should probably change. The Texas General Land Office manages over thirteen million acres of state property and funnels billions into public school funding through the Permanent School Fund. When hurricanes flatten coastal towns, this office distributes disaster recovery money. When veterans need housing assistance, this agency writes the checks. The commissioner

Here's what you need to know about how federal agents are trained to kill people and call it self-defense. In February 2013, the Police Executive Research Forum delivered a report to Customs and Border Protection that should have ended careers. Instead, CBP tried to bury it. The nonprofit had reviewed 67 use-of-force incidents from January 2010 through October 2012 that left 19 people dead along the southern border. What they found was a pattern so egregious it read like a tr

Minnesota is living the future that so many Americans still think could never happen here. The president of the United States has singled out one state on his social media megaphone and promised a “day of reckoning and retribution,” even as his immigration agents tear through neighborhoods with paperwork that looks like a warrant but is not. In Minneapolis, people are learning the hard way that the difference between a judge’s signature and an ICE form can be the difference b

"We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress," Rep. James Comer announced. The threat itself matters less than what came next. Bill and Hillary Clinton responded with a letter that abandons the careful distance former presidents typically maintain from congressional battles. The response extends far beyond the testimony request that prompted it. "Every person has to decide when they have seen or had e

A Starr County case reached the Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio today, bringing a conviction for three counts of Super-Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child under close judicial examination. Jesus Moises Lopez received three life sentences last year. His attorney, Hilda Gonzalez Garza, is now asking the appellate court to decide whether the trial court followed the law when determining Lopez’s mental competency before trial. Garza’s position rests on two issues. The fir

Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina didn't have to do much to earn President Donald Trump's endorsement. He just had to not be Henry Cuellar. That's the peculiar calculus propelling Tijerina's congressional campaign in Texas's 28th District, where Trump's backing arrived Tuesday as punishment for someone else's insufficient gratitude. The president pardoned Cuellar five weeks ago, eliminating federal bribery charges that threatened prison time. Cuellar responded by staying Democr

Representative Jasmine Crockett stood during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday and let it rip. "It is so hard to sit here sometimes because I didn't come to Congress to write laws or to do things that are hurting people," Crockett said. "I'm asking if there's any decency or heart or courage on that side of the aisle. The fact that a woman was killed, she was shot in her head, and y'all are pretending like nothing happened." The Texas Democrat wasn't finished. "I re

Texas handed over the personal information of every registered voter in the state to the Trump administration's Justice Department on December 23. Dates of birth, driver's license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers for 18.4 million Texans now sit in federal files. Secretary of State Jane Nelson's office confirmed the transfer last week, framing compliance as routine cooperation rather than capitulation. Twenty-three states have been sued by the Justice Department fo

The Rio Grande Valley just lost control over immigration enforcement in its own backyard. Hidalgo County confirmed full participation in the federal 287(g) program, not because officials chose cooperation but because Texas Senate Bill 8 gave them no alternative. The state law took effect January 1, 2026, requiring counties with populations over 100,000 to partner with ICE through 287(g) agreements. Hidalgo County already worked with federal agencies before the mandate, but SB

Minnesota is standing in that classic fault line right now, where the state line meets the federal boot, and a governor is quietly getting his Guard ready, not for a hurricane or a blizzard, but for Washington’s own agents on his streets. That alone tells you how far this immigration “crackdown” has gone off the rails, and how willing this administration is to turn blue states and brown bodies into props in a national show of force. In south Minneapolis, ICE didn’t just show

ICE claimed thirty-two lives in 2025, the agency's highest death toll in over twenty years. Seven days into 2026, another civilian is dead. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot a 37-year-old woman in the head Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis. She died hours later at a local hospital. The woman has been identified by family as Renee Nicole Good. Federal officials claim self-defense. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says otherwise. That discrepancy i

Bexar County authorities released dashcam footage Monday showing what appears to be the final confirmed sighting of Camila Mendoza Olmos, a 19-year-old college student who vanished on Christmas Eve morning. The grainy video captures a solitary figure walking along Wildhorse Parkway, dressed in clothing matching what Mendoza Olmos wore when she left her family's home in pajamas. The footage came from a neighbor's dashboard camera, recorded during their morning commute to work.

Twenty-four Buddhist monks left Fort Worth on October 26 with a plan to walk 2,300 miles to Washington, D.C. in 120 days. They're covering roughly nineteen miles daily through ten states. Sixty-six days in, they're crossing Georgia with a dog named Aloka. The Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center organized the pilgrimage to promote peace, kindness, and mindfulness. The monks characterize their walk as spiritual rather than political. Communities along the route receive invitatio

Every December, South Texas transforms into a retail battleground where American holiday shoppers face friendly rivals: Mexican nationals armed with shopping lists and crossing permits. Paisano season officially kicks off on Black Friday. Late November, early December is when families from across Mexico descend upon border cities like Laredo, Roma, Rio Grande City, McAllen, and Brownsville. They come bearing cash, dragging empty suitcases, and wielding determination that woul

Case Closed - Trevino Brothers Learn Their Fate Three years after one of South Texas’s most polarizing killings, the Treviño brothers and their childhood friend Juan Eduardo Meléndez have finally learned their fate. The 2022 death of 42-year-old Gabriel Quintanilla wasn’t just another murder case for Hidalgo County—it was a reckoning. The man accused of molesting his 9-year-old stepdaughter died beaten and dumped in a McAllen field. His alleged abusers were his own stepsons.
