SUMMARY: Houston is celebrating Diwali this year with the first approved sale of fireworks in Harris County, coinciding with the Festival of Lights. Hundreds gathered at Memorial Park for food, music, and community festivities as organizers highlighted the Indian population and the event‘s significance as a celebration of light over darkness. While fireworks can be purchased from October 25 to November 1, residents are reminded to follow safety precautions due to ongoing drought conditions. Fireworks remain illegal within city limits, and a burn ban is in effect. Additional Diwali events are planned in the Houston area throughout the week.

SUMMARY: As the election approaches, candidates ramp up their final campaigning efforts. Vice President Kamala Harris addressed voters in Kalamazoo, while former President Donald Trump rallied support in Novi, Michigan, receiving an endorsement from a local Muslim leader. Trump emphasized immigration and crime during his speech, sharing the story of Alexis Nungaray, whose daughter Joselyn was tragically murdered by undocumented migrants. Nungaray, who never engaged in politics before, is now using her daughter’s memory to advocate for border security. Meanwhile, Harris focused on women’s rights in Texas, avoiding the topic of immigration that resonates deeply with many voters.

Alexis Nungaray admits she is not the person most would expect upon a first impression.
“I’ve got blue hair, tattoos. I don’t look like your average person that is on stage with Donald Trump,” the 27-year Latino-American mother said on Saturday afternoon.
The Houston mother found herself at a presidential rally in Austin on Friday, standing with Donald Trump, a man she has never voted for.
“We will never forget Jocelyn. We’re not going to, we have all seen her picture,” the former president said during the small rally inside of an airplane hangar.
