The latest political developments are making headlines this week, with a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah already being tested and President-elect Donald Trump issuing threats to Canada and Mexico. Trump has threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on all goods unless the two countries can address issues such as the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across the border.
In addition, Trump has selected Brooke Rollins, a Texan with strong ties to lead the Department of Agriculture, and Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has announced plans to identify properties for mass deportation facilities under the initiative named after Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl killed by two Venezuelan men who were in the country illegally.
Political experts Jeronimo Cortina and Nancy Sims from the University of Houston have weighed in on these issues and other stories in local, state, national, and global politics in their weekly roundup. With a mix of international tensions, domestic policy decisions, and immigration debates, the political landscape is as complex as ever. Stay tuned for more updates on these and other important developments.
