Hey so Elon musk moved to the rio grande valley to destroy the land, gentrify Brownsville and exploit residents literally to their death and all elected officials are doing is kissing his ass for it. Cowards and sycophants for leaders

1) ICE's killings of Renée Good & Alex Pretti roiled the US. Less known is the agency's first public death, Ruben Martinez. His best friend, the only witness to dispute ICE's account, later died. How ICE’s killing of an American shattered two families & changed their politics.

Massive capital flows through the Port of Brownsville for fossil fuel corporations and other industries seeking expansion and leases, such as SpaceX's pending agreement. We sought responses from candidates on these issues. Read here: https://t.co/o0w0mqRCrw.

We need to demand answers from the candidates before the May 2 election

Meenu Batra, a longtime Texas court interpreter who was detained on immigration charges in March was released from ICE custody today.

Her attorney told @ABC that DHS granted Batra parole two hours before a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, mandating her immediate release. 

In his order, Judge Rolando Olvera found, in part, that the government failed to explain why Batra was being detained for the first time in 25 years.

Judge Olvera added the Batra was "afforded no procedural protection" before she was detained.
