Texas’ swift surrender to DOJ on undocumented student tuition raises questions about state-federal collusion
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Justice swiftly sued Texas to overturn its long-standing law allowing undocumented students to qualify for in-state tuition. Texas did not contest the lawsuit, asking a judge to strike down the law within hours, surprising legal experts given Texas’ usual opposition to federal intervention. Critics argue this “collusive” lawsuit bypassed the legislative process, with immigrant groups considering legal challenges. The cooperation between Texas and the federal government marks a rare moment of unity, potentially setting a precedent for other Republican-led states to undo similar laws without legislative debate. This move raises concerns about state sovereignty and politicization of legal actions.

Affidavit: Man arrested after allegedly helping discard stolen truck used in fatal Live Oak shooting
SUMMARY: A fatal shooting occurred last Wednesday in Live Oak involving a drive-by in which 29-year-old Albert Roy was killed, and four people were shot. Police arrested 33-year-old Darrius Gladney, charged with engaging in criminal activity related to the incident.

Trump deploys California National Guard to LA to quell protests despite the governor’s objections
SUMMARY: President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles amid escalating clashes between federal immigration agents and protesters in Paramount and surrounding areas. Protesters faced tear gas, flash-bangs, and arrests as immigration sweeps continued, with over 100 immigrant arrests in a week. Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the deployment as inflammatory and unnecessary, while the White House framed it as a response to “lawlessness.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned of potential active-duty Marine involvement if violence persists. Demonstrations involved confrontations, property damage, and arrests, including a union leader detained during protests. Tensions remain high over immigration enforcement actions.
