[00:00:03]How are you? Greetings from Amanda Salinas. It's Tuesday, May 12th. As high school seniors across Central Texas prepare to graduate this month, an Austin student is being detained by immigration authorities.

[00:00:19]Now, lawyer friends and even Congressman Gregar are pressing for his release. Luis Fernando Cabrera, 18, is currently in AIS custody. His lawyer claims that Cabrera was returning home after finishing his closing shift at Popy when he was intercepted by authorities. In a statement, an AES official said that Cabrera voluntarily admitted to not having legal status and will remain in custody pending immigration proceedings.

[00:00:52]However, his lawyer Jim Harrington maintains that there is no reason for Cabrera to remain detained.

[00:01:15]And what's the reaction of DPS? We're going we're going to jail you. Don't ask about why what are you doing?

[00:01:34]Cabreda has lived in the United States with his family since they crossed the border 7 years ago. They are originally from Honduras. She was 11 years old at the time and is still awaiting her ruling on her asylum case. The enforcement of immigration laws is contributing to a marked decline in public school enrollment across Texas, adding to the already low birth rates.

[00:01:59]Researchers told a Texas House committee on Monday that this downward trend could reach 400,000 jobs in the next 5 years. This situation has caused a budget crisis for local school districts, which constitutes a statewide crisis.

[00:02:20]According to Gina Inojosa, a Democrat from Austin and a candidate for governor of Texas.

[00:02:28]are not making it. We have 10 schools shutting down in Austin. Um, we will not be the same community after that happens. It is very hurtful, but it is happening in Fort Worth where there are 18 schools proposed for closure. It is happening in El Paso. It is happening in Corpus Christi. It is happening all over the state. And it is um blowing up school communities.

[00:03:00]Inojosa notes that 10 schools are closing in Austin and Fort Worth.

[00:03:05]A closure of 18 schools is proposed. This is also happening in El Paso and Corpus Christi and throughout the state.

[00:03:12]There are currently 5.4 million students in Texas public schools. Enrollment decreased by 75,000 students during the previous school year.

[00:03:24]New information on the deaths of six people, presumed to be migrants, found inside a cargo container at a rail terminal in Laredo, near the border. A Union Pacific employee discovered the bodies on Sunday afternoon. The autopsy performed by the county medical examiner determined that one of the victims died from heatstroke. It is believed that the other victims also died from heatstroke, but the exact cause of their deaths cannot be determined until the corresponding autopsies are completed.

[00:03:59]Identification cards and cell phones found among the deceased's belongings suggest they may have been originally from Mexico and Honduras.

[00:04:08]However, their fingerprints were taken to help confirm their identities and nationalities through the missing aliens program. The Homeland Security Investigations Division is investigating this case as a possible human smuggling incident with assistance from the Laredo Police Department and the Texas Rangers. Let's change the subject. The George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas is preparing for the FIFA World Cup. The center now features an exhibition of football memorabilia, just in time for the start of the tournament in June. The exhibit includes a scarf autographed by former U.S. Men's National Team forward Landinon Donoven, as well as items from Trinity FC and FC Dallas.

[00:05:04]Cupit local.

[00:05:15]The objects will remain on display until the end of the World Cup. Reality show fans, put on your cowboy hats.

[00:05:25]Bravo is headed to the Texas Hill Country region. The network announced a new reality TV series with the working title of Secret Lies Texas Wives. It is set in Bernie, a thriving, rapidly growing community located northeast of San Antonio.

[00:05:45]Bravo has not yet revealed a release date or the full cast list. However, the network described the series as a show focused on secrets, lies, and luxury among wealthy Texas women. The premise is similar to Bravo's Real Housewives franchise and follows this group of women as they navigate the complexities of friendship, marriage, business, and social status.
