Texas National Guard allowed to make immigration arrests
SUMMARY: The Texas National Guard can now arrest and detain individuals entering the U.S. illegally, following a new agreement between Governor Greg Abbott and the Trump administration. This change marks a departure from the longstanding separation of military and civilian law enforcement. The joint memorandum allows the National Guard to enforce federal immigration laws while remaining under state control. This shift comes amid frustrations with federal border enforcement and follows the 2021 launch of Operation Lone Star. Legal experts note that while this agreement is significant, its long-term implications and legality may face challenges, as the National Guard is typically deployed for shorter periods.

A deal between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and President Donald Trump’s administrations will allow the Texas National Guard to make immigration arrests. FOX 4’s Amelia Jones talked to a constitutional attorney about the change.

Meet one of pilots of the Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson blimps circling San Antonio amid Final Four
SUMMARY: The Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson blimps have been flying over San Antonio during the Final Four. Nick Matis visited Stinson Municipal Airport to learn about their operations and interviewed a pilot. The blimps travel at approximately 30 mph, with a crew of 13 managing each flight. They typically fly for 6 to 8 hours a day, especially during events. The pilot described their flying style as similar to a boat navigating air currents. The blimps are equipped with lights, making them noticeable at night. The presence of Barkley and Johnson provokes humor, particularly regarding Barkley’s comments on San Antonio residents.
