Immigrants and their advocates have much to be wary of when the Texas Legislature convenes in January, 2019.
About two dozen people gathered for a show of force outside City Hall Wednesday, Dec. 12, imploring the San Antonio City Council to stop “ramming through a policy” on housing development incentives.
Community leaders said they want more time for people to understand specifics about the policy, how it has already impacted neighborhoods and families.
