Texans should be able to call the police without fear.

Turning local officers into immigration agents through 287(g) undermines trust and makes it harder for law enforcement to keep our communities safe. #txlege

Trump DOJ has challenged in-state tuition for Dreamers in 17 states, using the same playbook used to dismantle the TX Dream Act.

For 20+ years, TX understood that investing in students strengthens our economy. MALC will continue fighting for TX Dreamers.

Last week, POTUS signed two executive orders targeting birthright citizenship and alleged birth tourism, marking the administration’s latest effort to narrow who is entitled to U.S. citizenship. Read our full statement at https://t.co/6ppkZbUQ43

Burdening healthcare and state workers isn't an immigration strategy. State Rep. Ramon Romero Jr. speaks out on why we need real, comprehensive solutions at the federal level. #txlege

A new Texas directive halts H-1B visa petitions at public universities and state agencies. From cancer research to rural classrooms, experts warn this freeze will hurt communities statewide. #txlege

Real Latina power looks like Tejanas who have changed history such as Representative Irma Rangel, who shattered barriers as the first Mexican American woman elected to the Texas House and dedicated her life to expanding education and civil rights. 🏛️ What is #LatinaPower to you?

REPORT: The ACLU & Human Rights Watch have released new investigative reports detailing systemic violations at the Camp East Montana ICE detention center on Ft. Bliss grounds in El Paso (covering Oct 2025 – Jun 2026). #immigration #txnews

Gov. Abbott has signed E.O. GA-57 directing multiple TX state agencies to investigate alleged birth tourism and pursue enforcement against healthcare providers and businesses, less than a month after the SCOTUS reaffirmed birthright citizenship.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History seems like the perfect place to celebrate the different identities that make up our incredible nation (Including #LatinaPower).

This attempt to erase identity is a disservice to the strength of our country. @repgill

[Brut America @brutamerica]

Rep. Brandon Gill repeatedly pressed the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History director on whether selling “Latina Power” merchandise was appropriate. The exchange came during a House subcommittee hearing examining allegations that the Smithsonian presents a politicized view of U.S. history. The hearing followed a July 4 White House report criticizing the museum’s exhibits and programming.

[Cassandra Garcia Hernandez @CasforTX]

The Texas Dream Act was enacted with bipartisan support and signed into law by Governor Rick Perry because lawmakers recognized it was sound public policy. That bipartisan consensus was reaffirmed when efforts to repeal the law during the last legislative session failed to gain traction.

If there is an effort to change the Texas Dream Act, it should happen through the legislative process, not by asking the courts to do what the Legislature declined to do. Circumventing the will of the #txlege through litigation undermines the democratic process.

We won’t give up on this fight. @MALCTx

[MALC @MALCTx]

According to @myushbc 60% of TX Hispanic business owners cite inflation as a primary concern. 📈

As well as 1 in 5 report losing staff due to deportation enforcement with hospitality, construction, and manufacturing being hit the hardest. #TxEconomy
