Just hours after the DOJ sued Texas over a long-standing law allowing undocumented immigrants to get in-state tuition, a judge has granted a permanent injunction (with the governor’s blessing)

Important note in this latest update: This is not necessarily the end of the case. A third party could intervene to appeal if they can show they would be harmed by the rescinding of the policy. Read more here >>

A judge has struck down a 2001 law providing in-state tuition for undocumented students in Texas. We'd like to speak with current and former students affected by this ruling for a story we're working on for KUT Austin. Email [email protected] or [email protected]. My DMs are open as well.

At least 36 of those confirmed dead in the Central Texas floods were children. As people sift through the debris, they're finding stuffed animals: a giraffe, a horse, a lamb. Some are trying their best to return them to their owners: kut.org/texas/2025-07-…
