Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, who died while in ICE custody on Saturday, was a lawful permanent resident.
ICE said he was detained bc he failed to disclose a 2004 arrest for theft while applying - but his daughter says he did.

Andrade-Covarrubias is at least the 7th person to die at an @ICEgov facility in Texas so far this year.
He's also the second to die at ICE facilities in Laredo. Felix Alcorta-Rodriguez, 63, died while detained at Webb County Detention Center in June.
Yesterday morning, Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias was found dead a Laredo federal immigration facility.
He was 56, a Dallas resident, and father of three US citizens.
His daughter told us that his health problems were ignored by staff.

How should #txlege change state takeover law? Here’s what some Texas Democrats propose:
- Specify guardrails for appointed boards
- Allow local referendums to end takeovers
- Raise the takeover threshold from 1 campus to 10% of campuses per district

Texas schools reported losing more than 14,200 immigrant students last year.
The true number is likely even higher, experts say. Latest for @texastribune:

Exclusive: We've ID'd the ICE agent who shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston.
Agents in officer-involved shootings have been shielded by the Trump admin, despite local & state law enf typically identifying in similar cases.

We identified the ICE agent who fired through an open window, killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. DHS has withheld the shooter’s name, as it has done for most agents accused in its growing tally of shootings. Local police typically typically ID.

A federal judge paused a bid by Texas Republicans to close the state's GOP primary elections.
But he expects state lawmakers to do so during the upcoming legislative session.

“To complain about skin color and to complain about other people ‘taking over’ @UTAustin and how disappointing that is is just disgusting.”

And there it is — $10 million from MAGA Inc., President Trump’s super PAC, for #TXSEN, right before Labor Day
Looks like a streaming + digital buy, half pro Paxton and half anti Talarico
