There were 818,000 permanent residents in 2024, and 360,000 are eligible. But the pathway toward citizenship is getting more expensive anddifficult. Today, we are joined by Zenobia Lai, the Executive Director of the non-profit Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative, to talk about the costs and challenges to becoming a citizen.4:40 pm At the urging of Donald Trump, Gov. Greg Abbott has pushed for a mid-census redistricting of the Texas Congressional map, putting four Houston area districts squarely in contention, in a bid to win 5 seats forthe GOP in next year's elections. In the special session called by Abbott, out of the 18 bills that needed addressing, chief of which was relief funding for the flood-stricken areas of Kerr County, he flipped the order and opted to vote on redistricting. This prompted 50 Democrats to bolt to Illinois and California and deny a quorum to hold a vote. We speak by phone with State Rep. Gene Wu, who has emerged as the leader of the revolt, on what they have accomplished and what the next steps will be. 5:20 pm With the passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill, ICE will receive $29.9 billion, $45 billion for detention facilities, funds to hire 10,000 agents and another $75 billion insupplemental funding. It is bound to lead to many arrests and people will need immigration attorneys to represent them. On the other hand, ICE raids are ramping up at day laborer gatherings outside Home Depots, construction sites,farms and restaurants.
