The autopsy report shows that Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, 41, died as the result of a combination of anaphylaxis, acute asthma exacerbation and the toxic effects of methamphetamine, among other factors.

State Rep. Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, used the event to lay out his “New American Dream” economic proposals. Attorney General Paxton, his Republican rival, made his own campaign swing through Houston last week.

Paxton, the Republican attorney general, spoke at the White Oak Music Hall on Wednesday evening. Talarico, a Democratic state representative, will make his own campaign swing through the Houston area this weekend.

The decision focused specifically on Haitian and Syrian immigrants, but legal experts say it could apply to as many as 1.3 million immigrants in the U.S. on TPS, including those in Texas.

President Donald Trump, who negotiated the USMCA during his first presidential term as a replacement for NAFTA, praised it at the time. Negotiations on whether to extend the agreement are likely to stretch past a key July 1 deadline.
