  • As Trump takes office, a new Texas bill would make it easier to build the border wall


    President-elect Donald Trump has promised to crackdown on illegal immigration starting as soon as the first day of his second term. 

    Meanwhile, a new bill recently filed in the Texas Senate would make it easier for new border wall segments to be built in the Lone Star State. 

    CBS News Texas politics reporter Jack Fink spoke with the bill’s author as part of Sunday’s Eye on Politics.  

    Also on the immigration topic, one of the first bills could reach Trump’s desk: The Laken Riley Act. Fink spoke with U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who passed an amendment to the legislation.

    And as part of a series that looks at how Trump immigration policies could impact the Texas border with Mexico, CBS News Texas anchor Ken Molestina returned to various Texas border communities to hear what residents are saying about the new administration.

    Texas’ eminent domain authority to build border wall

    State Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) has filed a bill to allow Texas to use eminent domain authority to build a wall along the southern border. Creighton, the Senate President Pro Tempore, said his bill is the only legislation filed so far that would give the state the power.

    In an interview with CBS News Texas, Creighton said the state must think beyond the Trump administration. 

    “In Texas, we have to continue working on our border enforcement plan because either way you look at it, this administration will be there for four years, but protecting Texas and all Texans at our southern border is not on a four year expiration. That’s permanent,” the state legislator said. 

    Creighton said eminent domain authority is already used by the state for other public projects. 

    “Just as we do for highways, roads, dams, and bridges. Keeping people safe, building necessary infrastructure to provide for the safety of all Texans,” he explained.

    State Rep. Gene Wu (D-Houston) criticized the bill. 

    “The state already has eminent domain power, but the state has to prove that it actually needs it. In Texas, we’ve actually thrown in more than $10 billion into border security in our state and we have very little to show for it,” he argued.  

    Laken Riley Act

    The U.S. Senate advanced what could become the first bill to crack down illegal immigration during incoming President Donald Trump’s second term. 

    The Laken Riley Act is named after Laken Riley, a nursing school student in Georgia who was murdered by a man who entered the country illegally. If passed, those in the country illegally who are accused of crimes such as burglary, theft, and shoplifting would be detained by federal authorities. 

    Sen. John Cornyn told CBS News Texas that an amendment to the bill that he passed last week requires any migrant who assaulted law enforcement officers to be held by the feds as well. 

    “I think it’s common sense. It’s shocking to me that 25 Democrats voted against that. But I guess those are the 25 who didn’t learn anything from the November 5th election, but I’m glad it passed. I expect we will send this to President Trump’s desk, and he will sign it into law shortly after he is sworn in,” Sen. Cornyn said.

    There is bipartisan support for this bill in the Senate. The House previously approved the measure but will have to vote on it again because of Sen. Cornyn’s amendment. Opponents, including some Democrats, have criticized the measure saying it removes due process rights for migrants. The vote in the Senate will take place next week.

    Cornyn also discussed how Republicans intend to pass Trump’s agenda and his decision to run for reelection next year.

    Back to the border

    CBS News Texas anchor Ken Molestina returned to various communities along the Texas border to get a sense of how people are feeling as Trump takes office. 

    In November, Trump not only won in the state of Texas, but border counties turned red.

    Texas House speaker battle

    After a contentious battle that split Texas House Republicans, State Rep. Dustin Burrows of Lubbock was elected Speaker. 

    In the second round of voting, he defeated his fellow Republican David Cook of Mansfield, 85 to 55 votes. 

    Records show 49 Democratic representatives voted for Burrows, which is more than the 36 Republicans who backed him. Burrows struck a conciliatory tone after being sworn in: “I commit to you today every member, every member will have a voice. Every district, every district will have a seat at the table.”

    House Democratic caucus chairman, Rep. Gene Wu of Houston, said most of the Democratic lawmakers backed Burrows because they’re tired of partisan bickering. 

    “What Democrats have done and what Republicans have done is the people who are reasonable in the middle and who actually want to fix things have gotten together and said forget all the partisanship, let’s work together,” Wu said. 

    Another Democratic state representative, Ramon Romero of Fort Worth, said Burrows’ victory was impressive: “Knowing that we have a strong leader I would say overwhelming 85 votes, I think it sends a good signal to the other branches that the House is independent.”

    Burrows’ victory continues to divide Republicans. State Rep. Shelley Luther (R-Grayson County) agreed with the assessment by various grassroots conservatives who commented on social media. 

    “The Democrats just chose who they wanted for Speaker, that’s 100 percent true,” Luther said.  She backed Rep. Cook over Burrows. 

    “I think we gave it a good try to get a reformer in the House. We tried to reform the Texas House like the grassroots wanted and we weren’t successful today. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be successful in the Texas House this session. The grassroots are going to be pretty upset with some of the people who voted for Burrows, so I am worried for them at this point,” Luther added.

    Among the Republicans who backed Burrows over Cook, State Rep. Jared Patterson of Frisco. He criticized Cook for not dropping out of the race. 

    “Let’s be clear, David Cook’s vanity project in running for Speaker and when he knew he had no pathway to become Speaker, he knew that he couldn’t get within 20 votes winning the election. He empowered the Democrats to pick the Speaker because he’s the one that split the party,” Patterson said.

    CBS News Texas asked Rep. Cook for a response, but didn’t hear back. In a statement released after the vote, Cook said, “We sparked an important and long-overdue conversation about the need for reform within this body, and for that I am truly appreciative.”

    As Trump takes office, a new Texas bill would make it easier to build the border wall

    With the inauguration of President Trump, the issue of border security has once again taken center stage. In response to the President’s calls for a stronger border wall, Texas lawmakers have introduced a bill that would make it easier to build the wall along the state’s southern border.

    The bill, known as SB 12, would streamline the permitting process for building the wall by exempting it from certain environmental regulations. Proponents of the bill argue that this would help expedite the construction process and better protect the state from illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

    Critics, however, have raised concerns about the potential environmental impact of the wall and the impact it could have on local communities. They argue that the bill would give the federal government too much power to bypass important environmental protections.

    As the debate over border security continues to heat up, the fate of SB 12 remains uncertain. But one thing is clear: with the new administration in office, the issue of the border wall is likely to remain a hot topic for the foreseeable future.

  • Bill targeting undocumented immigrants charged with crimes advances in Congress


    BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A bill that would place undocumented immigrants charged with crimes such as theft into federal custody is advancing in Congress after passing both the House and Senate. The legislation, known as the Laken Riley Act, is named after the Georgia woman who was killed by an undocumented migrant.

    The bill, which gained overwhelming bipartisan support, faced opposition from Maryland Democratic Congressman Johnny Olszewski, who voted against it. Olszewski, a former Baltimore County Executive, has previously faced criticism for the release of an undocumented convicted sex offender.

    “The person in our question was in our custody for 15 months,” Olszewski said, defending his decision. He explained that without a court trial or a judge’s directive, there was no reason to continue holding the individual.

    Maryland ICE Director Matthew Elliston criticized Baltimore County for releasing the convicted sex offender, stating, “It’s a massive mischaracterization.” Elliston noted that the suspect had an active ICE detainer and said, “They had every opportunity to work with us and come find him.”

    Baltimore County, known as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, has been a point of contention for Elliston. A FOX45 investigation revealed that the county chose not to honor 70% of detainers, some for violent offenders. Following this, Olszewski changed the county’s policy to notify ICE 48 hours before releasing someone with a detainer.

    “First of all, I have no tolerance for sex offenders in our community,” Olszewski said, acknowledging the policy change. However, he admitted, “Am I satisfied, no not really. Is this the best we could come up with, yes.”

    FOX45 reached out to Congressman Olszewski with questions regarding his vote against the Laken Riley Act, but has not yet received a response.

    As Laken Riley’s family continues to cope with their loss, they expressed the impact of her death. “Laken’s life was not the only life taken on that day that Jose Ibarra attacked her. The life of her family and friends was taken too,” a family member said.

    The bill, honoring Riley’s tragedy, is one step closer to becoming law. It passed the Senate on Friday but will return to the House for further consideration due to amendments. President-elect Trump is expected to sign it once finalized.



    The controversial bill targeting undocumented immigrants charged with crimes has advanced in Congress, sparking heated debates and discussions among lawmakers and the public.

    The bill, which aims to crack down on undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, has faced backlash from immigrant rights advocates who argue that it unfairly targets and criminalizes an already vulnerable population.

    Supporters of the bill, however, argue that it is necessary to ensure public safety and hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their immigration status.

    As the bill moves forward in Congress, it is likely to continue stirring up strong emotions and opinions on both sides of the debate. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

  • The Senate advances a migrant detention bill that could be Trump’s first law to sign


    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is heading toward a final vote on legislation that would give states the power to challenge federal immigration policies and require federal authorities to detain migrants accused of theft and violent crimes, setting a new tone on immigration as Donald Trump enters the White House.

    Newly in the majority, Senate Republicans have made the so-called Laken Riley Act — named after a Georgia student who was killed last year by a Venezuelan man — a top priority, potentially making it the first bill Trump signs as president.

    On Friday, it cleared a key procedural hurdle 61-35, with 10 Democrats voting with Republicans to advance it to a final vote. The Senate is set to vote on final passage Monday after Trump’s inauguration, but the House will also need to take up changes made to the bill.

    Democrats, who last year allowed similar legislation to languish, initially supported opening debate on the bill, signaling a new willingness to consider crackdowns on illegal immigration following their election losses. However, most voted against advancing the bill to a final vote after they were unable to make significant changes to the legislation.

    “The American people are rightly concerned about the illegal immigration crisis in this country, and they sent a clear message in November that they want to see it addressed,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, who described the bill as “the first of many” on the topic.

    In the early days of the new Congress, Republicans have dared Democrats to join them in efforts to restrict illegal immigration and deport migrants who are tied to crimes. In several cases, they have. Most Senate Democrats voted to advance the Laken Riley Act last week as they bartered for changes to the bill.

    In the House, all Republicans, as well as 48 Democrats, voted to pass a similar version of the bill this month. And this week, 61 Democrats also voted for a separate bill to require deportation and block entry into the U.S. for foreign nationals who are convicted of physical or sexual abuse.

    The votes have given Republicans some early wins as they enjoy a trifecta of power across the House, Senate and White House, though the bills have mostly retread on policy where federal authorities already have discretion to act.

    Once Trump enters office and attempts to set up large-scale deportation operations, congressional Republicans will face intense pressure to pay for his priorities while also balancing their pledges to tame budget deficits and concerns about the economic, as well as humanitarian, impacts of mass deportations.

    The Laken Riley Act does not have any new funding for immigration officials, but Democratic staff on the Senate Appropriations Committee estimate the bill would cost $83 billion over the next three years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.

    Republicans pushed back on that figure. At the same time, they are debating how to pass a major funding package through a process known as reconciliation that would allow the Trump administration to spend up to $100 billion on border and immigration enforcement.

    Democrats, meanwhile, are searching for a path forward on their approach to immigration. The party is divided between those who now prioritize restrictions on illegal immigration and those who argue the party should also champion help for migrants who are already here or who are seeking relief from violence or persecution in their home countries.

    “We Democrats want to see our broken immigration system fixed,” said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who supported negotiations on the bill but voted against its advance Friday.

    He pointed to Democrats working with Republicans on a larger bill last year that would have clamped down on the asylum process. That legislation was rejected by Republicans after Trump came out in opposition to it, but Schumer said he would still “stand ready” to work with the GOP on border security and immigration.

    “I think we have to prove that we’re the only party serious about border security,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat.

    He criticized the Laken Riley Act because it would require immigration authorities to give priority to detaining migrants accused or convicted of crimes like shoplifting, but potentially force authorities to release others convicted of more serious crimes. Murphy said it would just “make the system more convoluted and more chaotic.”

    The Senate will vote Monday on expanding the bill to also target migrants who assault a police officer or are accused of crimes that kill or seriously injure someone.

    The legislation, as well as Riley’s name, became a rallying cry for Republicans last year as they spotlighted President Joe Biden’s handling of the border. Riley, a Georgia nursing student, was killed in February, and Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan man who entered the country illegally and was allowed to stay to pursue his immigration case, was convicted of her murder.

    Trump in the campaign repeatedly raised the issue of crimes committed by migrants, but there is no evidence that immigrants are more prone to violent crime. Several studies have found immigrants commit lower rates of crime than those born in the U.S. Groups that advocate for restrictive immigration policies dispute or dismiss those findings.

    Ultimately, immigration experts said the most lasting effects of the legislation could be the provision that gives legal standing to state attorneys general to sue the federal government for harm caused by federal immigration policies.

    That gives states new power in setting immigration policy when they have already been trying to push back against presidential decisions under both the Trump and Biden administrations. Democrats unsuccessfully pushed to have that provision stripped from the bill, saying it could open the door to major changes in federal policy.

    “We have a really overwhelmed and stretched immigration system as it is and additional litigation just adds chaos,” said Kathleen Bush-Joseph, a lawyer and policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute.





    The Senate has taken a significant step towards passing a bill that would authorize funding for migrant detention facilities. This controversial bill, which has already been approved by the House of Representatives, has sparked heated debate among lawmakers and activists alike.

    If signed into law by President Trump, this bill would allocate billions of dollars towards expanding and maintaining detention centers for migrants at the southern border. Proponents argue that this funding is necessary to address the influx of migrants crossing into the United States, while critics argue that it will only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis at the border.

    With the Senate’s advancement of this bill, it could potentially become the first legislation related to immigration that President Trump signs into law. As the 2020 election approaches, this bill is sure to further ignite the immigration debate and shape the political landscape in the coming months.

    Stay tuned for updates on the progress of this bill and its potential impact on the immigration system in the United States.

  • Bill Belichick, Urban Meyer In Football Film


    EXCLUSIVE: Football royalty including Bill Belichick, Tony Dungy, Mike Tomlin, Urban Meyer, Roger Goodell, Sean McVay, and Tony Romo are among talking heads in new gridiron documentary The Object Of The Game.

    Recently wrapped, the film is inspired by the book of the same name written by legendary high school football coach Chuck “Chico” Kyle (pictured below) in which he imparts wisdom about why the game is played. You can see a first teaser above.

    The doc sees Shakespeare and Chaucer teacher Kyle wrapping up his 50th and final year at inner city Cleveland, Ohio’s Saint Ignatius High School. A humble teacher first, Kyle would sooner regale you with Macbeth and Othello quotes from memory than mention he engineered the greatest high school football dynasty the country has ever seen—winning an impressive 11 big school state championships and four national titles over a dominant 20 year span—and in the process, shaping the lives of thousands of his students and players through a philosophy he would dedicate his life to despite being offered bigger money coaching opportunities elsewhere. The film blends anecdotes, wisdom, and practical X’s and O’s from football luminaries with footage of Kyle’s emotional farewell season.

    The film is being being directed and produced by Zodiac Features’ Matt Waldeck (I See You, Lovely Jackson) with Ben Hecht, Travis Killian, and Blake Williams among its executive producers. 

    Sales are being handled by United Talent Agency and XYZ. Funding was provided by Zodiac Holdings.

    ‘The Object Of The Game’



    Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer are two of the most successful and respected coaches in football. Their knowledge and expertise in the game have led their teams to numerous championships and accolades.

    Now, imagine a football film that brings these two coaching legends together. The film would showcase their coaching philosophies, strategies, and the intense rivalry that would surely ensue.

    With Belichick’s meticulous attention to detail and Meyer’s innovative offensive schemes, the film would be a thrilling ride for football fans and a masterclass in coaching for aspiring coaches.

    The intense competition and high-stakes games would keep viewers on the edge of their seats, as they witness the clash of two football masterminds.

    Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer in a football film would be a must-watch for any football fan, as they delve into the minds of two of the greatest coaches in the game.

  • Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence hints at Season 4, calls it a ‘self-reboot’


    Good news for fans of the hilarious show Ted Lasso: the series might not be wrapping up as soon as we thought. Bill Lawrence, one of the brains behind the show, has been dropping hints that there could be another season in the works.

    “It’s almost a self-reboot. I think that he [Sudeikis] always had in his head another story he wanted to tell.”

    During an interview with The Los Angeles Times in January 2025, Lawrence talked about the show’s original plan to wrap up in three seasons. But, they’re now considering keeping the story going.

    About Ted going back to Kansas at the end of the show, Lawrence said:

    “Jason [Sudeikis] always envisioned the story as having a beginning, middle, and end.”

    But Lawrence let slip that Sudeikis has got “another story” up his sleeve, something that could explore a “different” angle while keeping the core of what makes Ted Lasso so special. With whispers of the main cast signing up for more fun and talk of cameras rolling as early as January 2025, Season 4 looks real.

    Channing Dungey, from Warner Bros. TV, is pumped about all the chatter, pointing out that the folks cooking up the show are looking into it. Fans are also trying to guess what might happen next. Some think we’ll catch up with Ted back in Kansas, while others reckon we’ll see AFC Richmond with a fresh face in charge.

    Note: Opinions expressed are subjective.

    What could Ted Lasso Season 4 look like?

    If we get lucky with a fourth season of Ted Lasso, the storyline is likely to take a big turn from what we’ve seen before. In Season 3, we had some big moments of closure: Ted going back to Kansas to be with his kid, Roy stepping up to be the head coach of AFC Richmond, and Nate making things right and coming back to the team.

    Ted Lasso’s writer, Lawrence, hinted that they’re cooking up “a different story,” which probably means we’re going to see these characters in a new light.

    Over on Reddit, in the r/TedLasso community, people are throwing around ideas about what Season 4 could be like. One fan, HeavyAd6173, had a thought: a spin-off show about the football club, with Roy, Nate, and Beard leading the charge for another championship.

    One of the show’s fans, lpjunior999, had a cool idea about Ted starting over in the U.S. while the team from Richmond tries to cope without him. Some other fans suggested a fun crossover where Roy gets to see what Kansas is all about. It’s great to see everyone throwing out ideas for how the show can keep moving forward while staying true to where it came from.

    And good news came out of all this speculation! Warner Bros. is optimistic about the show’s future because they signed on the dotted line with the main cast like Hannah Waddingham, who plays Rebecca, Brett Goldstein, our lovable Roy, and Jeremy Swift, the hilarious Higgins. So, we can expect more of their talent.

    Dungey dropped some hints that got everyone buzzing:

    “These conversations are exciting, but it’s still early days.”

    Could a Ted Lasso Season 4 ‘self-reboot’ work?

    Bringing back a show that’s as beloved as Ted Lasso has its challenges, but Bill Lawrence’s way of handling it gives us a good reason to be optimistic. Instead of just picking up where we left off, he’s looking to give the story a fresh twist, so it doesn’t get boring by being the same old thing.

    It’s like when you’re playing a game, and you start a new level to keep things interesting. And Bill’s been around the block with this kind of thing before. He worked on Scrubs, and even though some people thought it changed too much near the end, that experience might help him avoid those pitfalls here.

    So, a fan on Reddit, G0rkon, pointed out that:

    “Scrubs branding was forced on Bill for Season 9. He wanted a new show separate from Scrubs.”

    The situation here seems to indicate that Lawrence is keen on keeping Ted Lasso‘s creative heart intact.

    Another thing that makes this reboot look like it might do well is the show’s fantastic bunch of actors. With Ted not being around as much, it opens up the chance for other folks like Roy, Rebecca, and Nate to get more screen time and have their stories go deeper. This lets the story grow naturally. Plus, the idea that Ted might pop in now and then keeps things connected to the original.

    As someone named UmairWaseem276 pointed out,

    “If Ted’s not the main character, why not call it a spinoff?”

    If they market it as just a straight-up continuation of Ted Lasso, it could get even more people interested and watching.

    Fans have a lot to say about a possible Ted Lasso Season 4

    Some Ted Lasso fans think it’s best to keep the good things from the show just as they are so it’s remembered fondly. But others can’t wait to see fresh stories come to life.

    Take what Downtown_Antelope711 imagined – it’s funny to think about Roy trying Kansas BBQ for the first time.

    And then there’s this other fan, senorbiloba, who’s hoping for:

    “More focus on team and staff dynamics.”

    If there’s going to be a Season 4 of Ted Lasso, it’s going to need to strike that perfect mix of giving us the old we love and the new we haven’t seen before. It’s a bit of a tightrope walk, but with Jason Sudeikis and Bill Lawrence working together, we’ve got high hopes.
