Rest in Peace to Jim Brown, a legendary football player who was considered one of the greatest in history. He was also a champion for civil rights who organized a meeting of the nation’s top Black athletes, dubbed “The Cleveland Summit.” He and his family are in my prayers.

Henry Cuellar helped secure nearly $50 million for San Antonio as the city braces for an increase of migrant arrivals. Beyond food and basic resources, no plans have been formally announced for how it will be spent.

Will San Antonio use additional $48 million to bolster housing for migrants after Title 42?
Both Catholic Charities and the City of San Antonio now have access to millions of dollars. Neither has said much on how the funds will be used.

So far, DPS inspections have yielded zero drugs and zero migrants. I support DPS and law enforcement. However, the DPS men and women in service to our great State should not be confined to mechanical inspections. (2/3)
