Many say immigration is out of control, but 24 hours on the Texas-Mexico border shows a new reality. The Texas Tribune 2024-09-25 | Along the Texas-Mexico border, there has been a noticeable return to calm after an unprecedented surge of immigrants through the southern border in recent years. It’s difficult to perceive this calmness when listening to Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump discussing border enforcement at competing rallies for their presidential campaigns, or when considering the $11 billion that Texas has spent since 2021 on a border crackdown known as Operation Lone Star.Trump, Gov. Greg Abbott, and other elected officials often mention the country’s “unsecured border” with Mexico. Immigration is a key issue in the presidential election, and a majority of American voters believe it should be reduced.However, conditions on the border often shift more rapidly than political rhetoric — apprehensions about illegal crossings dropped by almost 80% between December and July.Journalists from The Texas Tribune and The Associated Press spent 24 hours in five areas along the border to highlight the gap between persuasive language and reality.This story is the first in a series of investigations from The Texas Tribune in partnership with Frontline, the investigative documentary series distributed by PBS, and its Local Journalism Initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Through this partnership, the Tribune will analyze immigration and politics along the U.S.-Mexico border. This story was also produced in collaboration with AP News.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - → Subscribe for more videos: youtube.com/user/thetexastribune?sub_confirmation=1 → Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/texastribune → Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/texastribune

Texas’ overcrowded and understaffed jails send people awaiting trial to other counties and states The Texas Tribune 2024-08-21 | Since 2010, the number of inmates in Texas jails being housed outside of their county of arrest has surged by 68%. Inmates from both public and private facilities are shipped across Texas, and in some cases, sent across state lines.Sarah Knight’s son died while being held in a Louisiana prison pre-trial.

Texas National Guard using pepper balls against migrants at border The Texas Tribune 2024-06-18 | The Texas National Guard is now being trained to shoot pepper balls out of CO2 launchers to deter migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. When they shoot the pepper balls at a solid object like a fence, projectiles burst and disperse a chemical that irritates the eyes, nose and throat of people nearby.The Texas National Guard is trained not to shoot at migrants but migrants in Mexico report being hit by these rounds, which cause welts and bruises.Part of Governor Abbott’s “Operation Lone Star,” the National Guard began using these launchers at the southern border around late spring and aims to certify all troops to use them.Gil Kerlikowske, former commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection who oversaw the implementation of the same technology at the agency amid scrutiny over agents’ use of force, said the pepper balls could do serious damage to people.In one high-profile incident, a young woman in Boston died when she was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by police trying to control a crowd gathered around Fenway Park to celebrate a Red Sox playoff victory.“They’re not really non-lethal,” Kerlikowske said. “No one should just write this off as well, you know, an irritant. They can be very dangerous.”Read more at TexasTribune.org- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - → Subscribe for more videos: youtube.com/user/thetexastribune?sub_confirmation=1 → Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/texastribune → Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/texastribune

Here’s what the law says about protesting on Texas college campuses The Texas Tribune 2024-05-15 | Students are generally permitted to protest peacefully, regardless of their opinions. However, colleges and authorities may impose restrictions and enforce criminal laws to ensure peace and order prevail.In late March, Governor Greg Abbott issued a directive for public universities to amend their free speech policies, specifically targeting certain pro-Palestine student groups for potential disciplinary action. The directive mandated Texas university officials to submit revised free speech policies within 90 days.However, despite this directive, pro-Palestine demonstrations have persisted at various Texas universities. At UT-Austin, several individuals have been arrested during such demonstrations, while administrators at other Texas universities have taken a less aggressive approach to campus protests.Governor Greg Abbott has expressed support for the arrests and called for the expulsion of the involved students.In contrast, some students, professors, and free speech advocates have criticized UT-Austin’s response, labeling it “disproportionate” and an “attack on students”.Free speech experts and advocates say students can generally peacefully protest. However, colleges and authorities may still enforce some restrictions and criminal laws to maintain peace and order if they’re applied neutrally and not against a particular viewpoint.#protest #texas #college- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - → Subscribe for more videos: youtube.com/user/thetexastribune?sub_confirmation=1 → Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/texastribune → Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/texastribune
