Commissioners voted to renew a roughly $860,000 annual contract with Flock Safety Group during a brief but contentious meeting.
Dozens of residents criticized the item, with some labeling the technology “fascist.” County Judge Lina Hidalgo, who abstained from the vote, sparred with commissioners over what she viewed as a failure to adequately discuss residents’ concerns. https://t.co/GVbL9MRrNm
A federal appeals court ruled Texas can enforce its unprecedented deportation law while a legal challenge against it plays out. The decision is the latest twist in a years-long legal battle over the law, which empowers state and local officials to arrest and deport immigrants.

Yale Street Baptist Church supports the City of Houston’s FY27 Proposed Budget and believes the proposed funding measures offer a balanced and responsible path toward a stronger, more stable future for the city.
Getting very tired of the erasure of Plummer’s record and issues..
There was a reel with over 91,000 views and 4000+ likes and thousands of shares about Parker’s support for the HISD takeover, Israel, and much more. Parker didn’t even respond to it.
The mainstream media decided not to cover it, and now they wonder what voters paid attention to from their sealed off echo chamber in an Ivy tower.
157/157 @letitiaplummer is the Democratic nominee for Harris County Judge. The voters have rejected the neoliberal status quo in favor of a County government that will meet the needs of the people.
Grateful to the @WHoustonAssoc for supporting the City of Houston Fiscal Year 2027 Proposed Budget and for recognizing the importance of continued investment in infrastructure that supports quality growth.
So Annise Parker, who openly said she was taking money from county contractors, outraised Letitia Plummer by nearly 10-to-1.
Marty Lancton also raised nearly a half-million iirc, with some from contractors.
I hope campaign managers are doing some reflection.
The lead keeps on getting bigger for @letitiaplummer. With 145/157 locations counted she leads by 2,012 votes. (Barring a miraculous comeback by @AnniseParker) Congratulations to Houston's first Muslim County Judge nominee!
