Bexar DA among those to sue Texas AG Ken Paxton
Democratic district attorneys in Bexar, Harris, El Paso, Travis, and Dallas counties are challenging a new oversight rule by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The rule imposes sweeping reporting requirements on prosecutors in large counties.
It would require district and county attorneys in counties with populations exceeding 400,000 to submit extensive quarterly and annual reports to the Office of the Attorney General.
The lawsuit alleges the rule exceeds the AG's authority under Texas law and violates the Texas Constitution’s separation of powers.

U.S. enforces travel ban on prominent Mexican politicians
The Trump administration has launched a crackdown on prominent Mexican politicians allegedly tied to drug trafficking.
Two officials — including Baja California’s governor — have acknowledged their U.S. visas were revoked. Authorities expect more restrictions as they review a list of political figures, including governors, Morena party leaders, and allies of former President López Obrador.
Américo Villarreal, the governor of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, was stopped at the border with Brownsville but confirmed his visa hasn’t been formally revoked.
U.S. officials say the visa bans may soon be paired with Treasury sanctions, part of a broader Trump administration effort against drug trafficking.
