Here's a sample of today's email:

President Trump to Cancel Student Visas of Pro-Jihadist Protesters
- President Donald Trump has signed an executive order promising that the federal government will deport students who participated in “pro-jihadist” protests. Valorie Muñoz has the background.
- Back in April, more than 30 students were arrested for physically assaulting and threatening staff, establishing encampments, and vandalizing property during a pro-Palestine protest at the University of Texas at Austin.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said his agency will deny and revoke visas for those discovered to be Hamas supporters.
- The presidential order also gives federal agencies 60 days to review and present potential actions to combat antisemitism on university campuses

Gov. Abbott Directs State Agencies To Reject ‘Woke’ Gender Ideologies
- In a directive to state agency heads, Gov. Greg Abbott is instructing them to adhere to state and federal law. That includes, reports Sydnie Henry, President Donald Trump’s recent executive order rejecting “radical sexual orientation and gender identity ideologies.”
- The governor's directive follows several actions taken by the Trump administration to reverse policies implemented during the Biden-Harris era.
- Last week, President Trump issued an executive order designed to defend women from gender ideology extremism and restore biological truth to the federal government. Additional actions from Trump include protecting minors from chemical and surgical gender mutilation and disallowing “transgender” individuals from openly serving in the military.
- “All Texas agencies must ensure that agency rules, internal policies, employment practices, and other actions comply with the law and the biological reality that there are only two sexes—male and female.” – Greg Abbott

Houston Mayor: Police Will Focus on 'Local Issues,' Not Deportations
- Houston Mayor John Whitmire said this week that his police department is not helping U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with operations. Joseph Trimmer reports there are estimated to be a half-million illegal aliens in the Houston area.
- The mayor revealed that while ICE made arrests targeting violent, illegal alien criminals, the Houston Police Department did not participate. He said HPD would focus on enforcing local and state laws without regard to the immigration status of the people they investigate.
