Trump Administration mistakenly deported Maryland man
SUMMARY: In a pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Democrat Susan Crawford defeated Republican Brad Schimel, supported by President Trump and Elon Musk, marking the highest voter turnout and most expensive race in U.S. history. This win solidifies a liberal majority expected to influence decisions on abortion and voting rights. Meanwhile, in Florida, Republicans retained control in a special election. President Trump plans to announce a significant tariff increase, termed “Liberation Day,” aimed at rectifying trade imbalances but concerns arise about its impact on American consumers. Additionally, the Trump administration admitted to mistakenly deporting Maryland resident Rodrigo Garcia, claiming he has gang ties, a charge he denies.

The Trump Administration acknowledged an error they made—that led to a Maryland man being deported to an El Salvador prison.

Spring cleaning: How to spruce up your kitchen, especially for busy parents
SUMMARY: Spring cleaning isn’t just about decluttering; it’s about organizing spaces for ease and functionality. Professional organizer Dale Vulp offers tips for busy parents, using Carly’s kitchen as an example. For parents like Carly, keeping things organized with stackable storage containers and clear labels helps manage items like sippy cups. In the pantry, separating cans and using clear boxes makes it easy to locate items. Vulp suggests using organizers in drawers to maximize space. While Carly’s kitchen showcases plenty of space, the tips are useful for smaller kitchens and pantries, ensuring everything is visible and accessible.

Security drones based out of Austin could help school districts comply with campus security law | FO
SUMMARY: Texas state law requires public schools to have at least one armed security guard during school hours, with exceptions allowed for funding or personnel shortages. SB1262, proposed by Senator Robert Nichols, ensures such waivers are temporary and must be renewed annually. The bill also introduces new reporting on intruder detection and vulnerability assessments. A new drone system, Campus Guardian Angel, was introduced to help schools comply. These drones, armed with non-lethal devices, could serve as a proactive response until law enforcement arrives. The system is being tested by Bernie ISD and demonstrated at a private school soon.

State lawmakers were told a new security drone system, based in Austin, could help school districts comply with a new campus security law.
