Texas Latinos helped President Trump win in 2024, in part because of the border crisis under President Biden.
On Tuesday, they swung heavily towards Democrats — a shift we found was fueled in part by concerns about an ICE crackdown they believe has been heavy-handed and indiscriminate.
Our report from Texas, where we spoke to Latinos — including former Trump voters — who helped turn the once ruby red state blue.

Story w/ @camiloreports with a side of Texas BBQ and Tejano music.
In a key race in South Texas, Tejano music singer and Democratic candidate Bobby Pulido is hoping to win back the Latino voters who swung towards President Trump and Republicans in recent years, including by focusing on concerns over ICE’s operations.
His opponent, Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz, has tried to distance herself from President Trump’s deportation crackdown, telling @camiloreports she’s told the White House ICE operations are hurting the local economy.
Our @CBSMornings report from Texas border ahead of the Midterms. You will hear from a Republican mayor, a construction worker, and a coffee shop owner. Story w/ @camiloreports
CBS News: ICE’s aggressive crackdown is reshaping politics here along the Texas border, prompting some Latinos, including those who voted for President Trump, to shift away from Republicans.
Owners can’t find construction workers and ICE operations dominate local conversations.
We traveled to the African country of Liberia to speak to Latin American deportees ICE sent thousands of miles away from their homelands.
Today, the Supreme Court allowed those “third country” deportations to continue.

Marching Into Greatness: 17-year-old high school senior Kingston Kharif could very well be the next big thing coming out of Nashville. We shared his story on @CBSMornings w/ @NicoleValdesTV.
Congrats @MetroSchools@NSA_Magnet
For 17-year-old high school senior Kingston Kharif, this summer was about turning up the volume on his dreams, writing, producing and recording an original song — all culminating in an emotional performance.
“I want to be one of the greats,” he told @NicoleValdesTV.
A $7.5 billion border wall project at Big Bend. Is it the best use of taxpayer money? We ask ranchers, local law enforcement, and Gov. Abbott.
Our full report w/ @NicoleSganga
Alpine, TX—There’s an unlikely revolt against the president’s decade-old promise to build a wall. Cattle ranchers, environmentalists, sheriffs, senators & country singers united behind a distinctly Texas argument: Secure the border, but don't tread on us.

Our @CBSMornings report w/ @JasonAllenLive: Dads of Camp Mystic victims pushing for safety laws.. one year after deadly Texas floods https://t.co/eHWXoi3wTL
Counselor Chloe Childress and camper Molly DeWitt were two of the 27 girls who were killed during flooding at Camp Mystic last year.
“To be able to be at the leading edge of meaningful change, that keeps our daughters' purpose and their spirit alive,” Molly’s father, Ryan DeWitt, told CBS News’ Jason Allen.
Now, their fathers, DeWitt and Matthew Childress, said they are connected forever, as they seek lasting change in camp safety laws: “This job of safety is never done.”

Welder Juan Hernandez worked at SpaceX for 10 years — and his 6,500 shares of the company could make him nearly $900,000 richer when the company goes public Friday: “Thanks to SpaceX, you see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
Thousands of people at the company could become millionaires, while founder Elon Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire from the company’s IPO.
Powerful closing piece from @charliecbs & CBS Weekend News team. Remembering America’s fallen heroes, as well as two @CBSNews colleagues who died 20 years ago while on assignment in Iraq.
A monument honoring America's fallen heroes is growing along a trail just south of West Point Academy. The towering memorial is made up of stones that bear the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
