Texas Standard For July 12, 2019
As Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids are planned for the weekend, a so-called sanctuary cities lawsuit targeting San Antonio loses some steam – we’ll explain. And: When we talk about Texas politics, we always talk red and blue. But what about green? Purple? – an effort to get more options on the ballot. Also: Texas is becoming just the second state to require high school seniors to fill out the form for federal student aid. But the path to accomplishing that is unclear – we’ll look at why. Plus: When most Texans hear the word “cricket” they think insect, not sports – that might be changing. And: It’s Friday, and that means the Typewriter Rodeo and a wrap of the week in Texas politics. All of that and more today on the Texas Standard:
