State officials defend the laws as public safety and accountability measures. The outcome could shape how federal agents operate in California and influence similar efforts in other states.

Federal authorities arrested about 140 people in a recent operation in San Antonio that targeted suspected criminal activity and immigration violations, according to attorneys working on related cases. An immigration attorney said the large-scale action resembles an earlier enforcement sweep at an Austin birthday party where his former client, who he said had no criminal ties, was detained along with other guests. Officials have not yet released a full public accounting of those arrested in San Antonio, and legal advocates are working to locate detainees and review their individual cases.
Harris County prosecutors are continuing their investigation into the Houston Independent School District’s use of taxpayer funds tied to a $4.4 billion bond campaign.

Parents who filed criminal complaints allege more than $1.5 million in public funds supported bond advocacy, which Texas law forbids. The DA’s office is reviewing new materials to determine whether any of the evidence is actionable.
