SUMMARY: A group of 42 migrants, including young children, were bused from Texas to Los Angeles and left at Union Station by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The migrants, primarily from Venezuela, Honduras and Guatemala, were moved to a nearby church where groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights provided support. Abbott used this move to protest what he calls “Biden’s open-border policies”, which have caused border towns to be overwhelmed. The migrants were given food and spoke with immigration attorneys, but it is unclear if they knew where they were going.

SUMMARY: Police in Houston have arrested 61-year-old Tamara Brown for allegedly breaking into multiple Westchase-area apartments damaged by Hurricane Beryl. Brown reportedly worked with two others, who remain at large.

Eyewitnesses found several garbage bags filled with potential stolen items outside the complex. In the Westbury neighborhood, Victoria Ma returned home to find her residence burglarized after losing power due to the hurricane. Brown was released on a $10,000 bond and ordered to stay 200 feet away from the complex.
