Expert weighs in on Gina Ortiz Jones' win
Former Air Force Undersecretary Gina Ortiz Jones was elected Mayor of San Antonio in Saturday's runoff election.
Jon Taylor, a political science professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, said Jones’ clear victory — as well as the more progressive bent of the city council — sends a message about San Antonio’s politics.
"Some will probably say that San Antonio is moving as far left as Austin," he said. "We're not quite there yet, but I think it does say something about at least the mood of the city."
Taylor said the results of this election were a rejection of Gov. Greg Abbott’s bid to influence San Antonio politics.
Hundreds of San Antonians protest ICE
Over 200 people crowded the front steps at city hall on Sunday to protest against actions being taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Immigration advocates react to end of Texas Dream Act
A judge struck down last week the 2001 Texas Dream Act, which allowed certain students without legal status to pay in-state tuition rates.
Immigration advocates say ending this policy in Texas will hurt the state’s economy.
Texas has the second highest number of students without legal status enrolled in higher education in the country. They pay tens of millions of dollars to attend college.
Linda Corchado, senior director of immigration for the nonprofit Children at Risk, said Texas is projected to lose $461 million annually.
New discoveries made about 1813 Battle of Medina
A new documentary shares new evidence about one of the bloodiest battles in Texas history, the Battle of Medina.
The film by podcaster Brandon Seale reveals new evidence found at a site in Atascosa County.
Until recently, little was known about the battle, including its exact location, which now has been found to have occurred at several different sites.
Some of the new evidence has been added to an exhibit at San Antonio's Witte Museum about the Battle of Medina. Seale’s full documentary about the new finds is expected to be released later this year.
