Texas Standard for March 28, 2016
The border surge: some called it a cynical political move. But now even local critics concede they feel safer. We’ll explore. Also from security on the Texas border to terrorism abroad. Officials have been warning of so-called lone wolves. How do attacks in Brussels and Pakistan change the conversation? And a federal judge orders a complete restructuring of the Texas foster care system. Now the man who leads the whole department is stepping down. We’ll hear why, and whether he thinks things can be fixed. And the Christmas twisters- three moths after the storms and the media spotlight. What changed and what hasn’t? All that and much more today on the Texas Standard:
