AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hosted his first presidential rally on the Rio Grande River on Monday, he made a promise to deliver on an immigration policy the state's top Republicans sought all legislative session."The states should be permitted to send people back," the second-most-popular candidate for the Republican nomination told supporters. "As president, we are going to fully deputize all state and local governments to be able to enforce immigration law. You will be able to have that authority."In the audience was State Rep. Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, who carried major legislation that would have asserted Texas' powers to police the federal border. His House Bill 20 would have established the Border Protection Unit, deputizing state police to use force against unauthorized immigrants independent of the federal government. It failed late in the legislative session among concerns that it would amount to an unconstitutional insubordination of federal power.But th...APD: 17 year old, 3 juveniles arrested in connection with southeast Austin shooting death

ATLANTA — Monday night’s matchup between Twins veteran starter Sonny Gray and young Atlanta ace Spencer Strider looked, on paper, as if it could be quite the pitcher’s duel.And for most of the night, the two starters lived up to the billing. Twins hitters, most getting their first look at Strider, could do little against the 24-year-old righty. Joey Gallo’s solo home run, which he hit out to dead center, was the only blemish on a night in which he otherwise dominated Twins hitters.And for most of the night, Gray matched him. It wasn’t until the seventh inning that the Braves broke through, scoring three runs to lift them to a 4-1 win on Monday night at Truist Park.Up until the seventh inning, Gray had allowed just one run, which came around to score on a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning. But otherwise, he maneuvered his way through one of the best lineups in baseball efficiently, earning himself the chance to return to the mound for the seventh.But the decision to send him back...bill alkofer, former Pioneer Press photojournalist, dies at 61

bill alkofer could no longer lift a camera, but he was still a journalist.“The last time I saw him, a couple of days before he died, we looked at slides,” says Craig Lassig, a fellow photojournalist and friend. “We were looking at slides of his photos of Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols and David Byrne from Talking Heads. I was holding a light table and a loop against his eye so he could look at the slides and decide what pictures he wanted to give to friends.”alkofer, a former Pioneer Press photojournalist who had been living with a variation of ALS for about five years, died on Friday at Sholom in St. Paul. He was 61.(He had legally changed his name to a lowercase format, so we are honoring that in the styling for this obituary.)If one photograph can encapsulate his career and his determination to always get the photo, for alkofer that image might be from the Grand Forks flood in North Dakota.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Following another weekend of violence in both St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri voters could get to decide if counties should be allowed to enact their own firearm regulations. Missouri is perceived by some to have some of the laxest gun laws in the country. Since the General Assembly isn't making any moves to strengthen state statute, a new nonprofit said it wants to give counties the opportunity to approve their own rules on the access and carrying of firearms. "When one goes from county to county, encounters different traffic laws, different regulations of all kinds, we see no reason why that same logic shouldn't apply to firearm regulations," Richard Rosenfeld said. Crews investigating home explosion in Granite City, Illinois Rosenfeld is part of a new nonprofit, Sensible Missouri, who hopes to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot next November to allow counties and St. Louis to approve their own rules.
