Artists to make ofrendas for Houston's dead cyclists
A group of artists will honor cyclists who have died on Houston streets at an upcoming Día de los Muertos exhibit. Why it matters: Their effort highlights the real-life consequences of traffic crashes involving bicyclists and aims to invigorate the push for safer Houston streets. Driving the news: The artists will create personalized ofrendas for eight Houston cyclists who died in traffic crashes. Additionally, each cyclist's ghost bike memorial — a white bicycle marking the location near where they died — will be spruced up with flowers to honor the occasion. Zoom in: The victims to be memorialized are Bennis Noble Butcher (who died in 1916), Michael Demny (1996), Chelsea Norman (2013), Marjorie Corcoran (2017), David Leon Loya Jr. (2019), Samiha Fatima Hossain (2019), Shane McKinney (2022) and Rodney Adkins (2023). They were chosen because their deaths happened close to the city center. Karla Cisneros, a former Houston City Council member, is leading the effort as an artist and organizer. The other artists are Victor Ancheta, Julieta Cahue, Veronica Cabrera-Moreno, José Fernandez, Louis Gonzalez, Anne Houang and Hannah Lowery. Between the lines: While on the council, Cisneros supported the Houston Bike Plan — which prescribed more than 1,800 miles of bike lanes across town — and initiated a handful of safe street projects in her district. What they're saying:"When you make roadways safer for bicyclists, you make roads safer for everyone," Cisneros tells Axios, citing the lessons she learned as a council member. "Since leaving council, I have redirected my energy into another passion of mine, art," Cisneros said. "And I am funneling some of my frustration into art projects that advocate for safer streets." The big picture: The artwork comes as road safety advocates fight for the protection of bike infrastructure. Mayor John Whitmire has scrapped components of the Houston Bike Plan and other safety projects, including demolishing an already installed bike lane in Midtown, questioning another in the Heights and removing new medians on Houston Avenue intended to improve pedestrian safety.

Houston and Harris County political races to watch
Politics are again heating up in Houston and Harris County. Why it matters: Upcoming races to watch include a hotly contested election to replace late U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner and another deciding general-election candidates to lead Harris County. Driving the news: Voters in the 18th Congressional District, a deeply Democratic-leaning district across a large swath of Houston, will vote for their representative during a special election Nov. 4. The seat has been vacant since Turner's death in March. Turner, the former Houston mayor, had served in Congress for only two months before he died. Who's in: The field consists of more than a dozen candidates, including frontrunners Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, state Rep. Jolanda Jones and former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards. The special election will not include a primary. If a candidate does not receive more than 50% of the vote, the winner will be determined in a runoff election. A few months later, voters will decide Democratic and Republican candidates for Harris County judge in the March 2026 primary elections. The intrigue: It's unclear if two-term County Judge Lina Hidalgo, a Democrat, will run for reelection. She told the Houston Chronicle in May 2024 she would seek a third term, but in June she said she would make a formal announcement"in the coming weeks." So far, the Democratic field includes former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, who announced her bid for the Democratic nomination in June, and Houston City Council member Letitia Plummer, who announced she was running for the nomination this month after weeks of speculation.

The Latest: LA mayor urges Trump administration to stop ICE raids
During a press conference Wednesday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the raids in Southern California a provocation by the White House and called on the Trump administration to stop them. Bass was joined by mayors from across the region, several of whom said they were immigrants. Here's the latest: LA could lift its curfew if arrests drop The mayor said an overnight curfew for downtown neighborhoods will remain in effect indefinitely. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Bass said officials will consider lifting it if there are fewer arrests Wednesday night. 'What I'm hoping is that Angelenos got the message last night,' she said. How long it will remain in place also depends on the response by the federal government, Bass said. 'If there are raids that continue, if there are soldiers marching up and down our streets, I would imagine that the curfew will continue,' she said. City leaders say ICE raids have been happening outside Home Depots and churches 'Maybe we are part of a national experiment about how far to determine the federal government can go in reaching in and taking over power from a governor, power from a local jurisdiction,' Mayor Karen Bass said. Mayors who joined her said immigrants are vital for the economy, including harvesting food for the country. 'We are not criminals. We are hard working people. We came to the United States to work, to better our families,' said South Gate Mayor Maria Davila. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Many of the city leaders said raids have been happening outside Home Depots, churches and other businesses. A woman who was nine months pregnant and a man dropping off his granddaughter were among those detained, they said. LA police say they detained over 200 people and two officers were injured The vast majority of people — 203 — were detained for failing to disperse Tuesday, and 17 others for violating the curfew that set in at 8 p.m. over part of Los Angeles, police said in a statement Wednesday. Police arrested several more people for possessing a firearm, assaulting a police officer and shining a laser at a police 'airship.' Police said they used 'numerous' less lethal munitions to control the crowd. Two officers were injured Tuesday, bringing the total number injured over the past several days of protests to nine. Houston is ready for any protests, mayor says At Wednesday's Houston City Council meeting, Mayor John Whitmire did not specifically mention the possibility of Texas National Guard troops being sent to the nation's fourth-largest city ahead of any protests. City leaders expressed their confidence in the Houston Police Department being able to monitor any protests. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's office says National Guard troops are 'on standby' in Texas in areas where demonstrations are planned. 'We're so prepared,' Whitmire said. 'We have such a great police department, a diverse police department that has so much experience. We have a history of peaceful demonstrations brought about by the faith community, our civic leaders, our political figures. And we're going to continue down that path.' Protests in Chicago have been mostly peaceful, mayor says Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says the city's police have responded appropriately in managing crowds at immigration protests in recent days. The demonstrations have been in response to aggressive immigration arrests in the city and in solidarity with Los Angeles. The largest Chicago gathering was downtown Wednesday when thousands gathered in a downtown plaza and onto surrounding streets during the evening rush hour. There were some incidents of vandalism, and one 66-year-old woman was injured when she was hit by a car. 'The vast majority of protesters remain peaceful and organized,' Johnson said. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 2 people charged for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails toward police during LA protests No officers were hit. Both people are charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said at a press conference Wednesday. 'You can make a statement, but you can't throw bombs or Molotov cocktails,' Essayli said. Investigators are combing through FBI videos, body camera footage from law enforcement and other evidence on social media, said Essayli. Authorities expect to charge more people in the coming days and weeks. Department of Homeland Security says 9 people arrested in LA had criminal convictions The U.S. Department of Homeland Security revealed names of nine people arrested by immigration authorities in Los Angeles on Monday and Tuesday with criminal convictions, including one for homicide and burglary and others for drug trafficking and child endangerment. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW It used those cases to portray violent criminals as its primary targets and accuse political opponents of coddling them. 'How much longer will Governor (Gavin) Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass continue to prioritize these criminal illegal aliens over their own citizens?' said Tricia McLaughlin, a department spokesperson. 'Secretary (Kristi) Noem has a message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE will continue to enforce the law and arrest criminal illegal aliens.' Woman injured in Chicago after car strikes protesters Chicago police say a 66-year-old woman was injured when she was struck by a car during downtown protests Tuesday evening. Crowds of demonstrators rallying in solidarity with activists in Los Angeles took over a plaza and some surrounding streets amid rush hour traffic. Video footage shows a car speeding through a roadway where people were standing and were protesting. Police said Wednesday that the injured woman fractured her left arm and was treated at a local hospital. No other injuries were reported. Chicago police say detectives are investigating. No charges have been filed. Jeffries and Schumer defend Newsom The defense of Newsom came as House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer were asked how Newsom should be dealing with Trump. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Jeffries said Newsom 'has been doing a tremendous job on behalf of the people of California.' He then used the question to state Democrats believe along with Newsom that anybody who commits violence or destroys property should be held accountable to the full extent of that law. At the same time, people have a right to 'peacefully protest and petition their government.' Schumer said that Trump has been trying to intimidate Newsom. 'He has shown he's not going to be intimidated, and we're all for that,' Schumer said of Newsom. 'All for him and proud that he is refusing to be intimidated by Donald Trump.' NYPD detains more than 80 people during Tuesday night's protests in Lower Manhattan The protests took place around Foley Square Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Many in the large crowds, which police estimated at around 2,500 people, shouted out against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and waved signs that included 'ICE out of NYC' as they rallied near an ICE facility and federal courthouses. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the vast majority of demonstrators were peaceful. She blamed smaller groups for causing the disorder that required police intervention. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Police said they took 86 people into custody, including 52 who were released with criminal court summonses for minor crimes and 34 who were charged with assault, resisting arrest and other crimes. Some protesters clashed with police when they jumped over metal barricades and were wrestled to the ground by officers. Video also showed demonstrators throwing items at law enforcement vehicles. Marines will not be deployed Wednesday in Los Angeles About 700 Marines are still undergoing civil disturbance training at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach in Orange County, California, said Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, head of the task force that's overseeing the deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles. Sherman wouldn't speculate about when the Marines might join the 2,000 or so Guard troops that have been deployed in downtown areas to protect federal buildings during sometimes violent demonstrations against President Trump's immigration crackdown. Another 2,000 Guard troops were expected to mobilize on Thursday, he said during a news conference. Downtown LA bustling after curfew lifted The streets of downtown Los Angeles began bustling with residents walking dogs and commuters clutching coffee cups after the overnight curfew was lifted at 6 a.m. Wednesday. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Officials said at least two dozen people were arrested for violating the curfew, but overall they were fewer clashes between police and demonstrators than on previous nights. There were no signs of Marines that were expected to be deployed in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, joining the National Guard troops that are protecting federal buildings and ICE agents making arrests. Attorneys General coalition condemns the 'unlawful deployment' of National Guard A coalition of 18 Democratic attorneys general on Wednesday condemned the Trump administration for what they called the unlawful deployment of the California National Guard amid the protests in Los Angeles. 'The president's decision to federalize and deploy California's National Guard without the consent of California state leaders is unlawful, unconstitutional, and undemocratic,' the attorneys general said in a statement released by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. They said the Trump administration should be working with local leaders to keep everyone safe, 'not mobilizing the military against the American people.' In their capacity as the chief legal officers of the 18 states, they also expressed support for California Attorney General Rob Bonta's court challenge to Trump's order. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'We oppose any action from this administration that will sow chaos, inflame tensions, and put people's lives at risk — including those of our law-enforcement officers,' they wrote. The statement was joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Vermont. Denver police arrested 17 people during protest against immigration raids The hundreds who marched Tuesday evening down thoroughfares in the city, blocking traffic and chanting, were eventually told to disperse by police. Officers used smoke and pepper balls — similar to paintballs but filled with a substance akin to pepper spray — to control the crowd, the Denver Police Department said in a statement Wednesday. Three people were arrested on assault charges, according to Denver police. Other charges included graffiti, unlawfully throwing projectiles and failing to following the police's orders. Mexican president to discuss Kristi Noem's comments accusing her of inciting violence ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Claudia Sheinbaum said she would discuss the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary's accusation with Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau on Wednesday as he visits Mexico. She rejected Noem's comments as 'completely false' the day before, publishing a video of her in her morning press briefing calling for Mexicans to act in peace in the Los Angeles protests. Sheinbaum added more details Wednesday — claiming her opponents had 'completely taken out of context' her previous comments suggesting that Mexicans could protest a tax on remittances proposed by Trump. 'We have never called for a violent demonstration,' she said. 'We are against all violent acts. We've always supported peaceful protests.' San Antonio Mayor says city officials did not ask for the Texas National Guard to be deployed Mayor Ron Nirenberg said city officials did not ask for the Texas National Guard to be deployed to the city ahead of planned protests Wednesday night and Saturday. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's office said Tuesday night that National Guard troops were 'on standby' in areas where demonstrations are planned. That came after police in Austin used chemical irritants to disperse several hundred demonstrators Monday near the state Capitol. Wednesday night's protest in San Antonio are scheduled to be near the Alamo, in the heart of the city's downtown. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said he has not been told by either the governor's office or the guard how many troops would be in the city, where they would be positioned or what they will be doing. The governor's office has not publicly released those details. McManus said the city police are ready to handle any security issues with the demonstration. 'We are prepared for a peaceful demonstration, but we are also prepared if something goes south and it turns violent,' McManus said. Immigrant communities are rattled Immigration raids across Southern California are rattling the area's immigrant communities, even among those in the country legally. More than 100 people have been detained since Friday. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW In Orange County, a day laborer said he started carrying his green card everywhere. And during a news conference Monday, the family members of detained workers in Los Angeles urged officials to uphold the city and the state of California as places of sanctuary for immigrants. ▶Read more about how the raids are affecting immigrant families Protests over immigration raids pop up across the US with more planned Protests that started in Los Angeles have begun to spread across the country, with more planned into the weekend.

(AP Photo/Eric Thayer) From Seattle and Austin to Chicago and Washington, D.C., marchers have chanted slogans, carried signs against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and snarled traffic through downtown avenues and outside federal offices. While many have been peaceful, some have resulted in clashes with law enforcement as officers made arrests and used chemical irritants to disperse crowds Activists are planning more and even larger demonstrations in the coming days, with 'No Kings' events across the country on Saturday to coincide with Trump's planned military parade through Washington. The Trump administration said it would continue its program of raids and deportations despite the protests. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'ICE will continue to enforce the law,' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted Tuesday on social media. ▶ Read more about some of the other protests across the country Trump says he's open to using Insurrection Act Trump left open the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act, which authorizes the president to deploy military forces inside the U.S. to suppress rebellion or domestic violence or to enforce the law in certain situations. It's one of the most extreme emergency powers available to a U.S. president. 'If there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We'll see,' he said from the Oval Office. Later the president called protesters 'animals' and 'a foreign enemy' in a speech at Fort Bragg ostensibly to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Trump has described Los Angeles in dire terms that Bass and Newsom say are nowhere close to the truth. In a public address Tuesday evening, Newsom called Trump's actions the start of an 'assault' on democracy. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Newsom warned people against inciting violence, but urged them to stand up to the president's actions. LA police swiftly enforce downtown curfew as protests against Trump's immigration crackdown continue Los Angeles police swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, while deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds of demonstrators. Members of the National Guard stood watch behind plastic shields, but did not appear to participate in the arrests Tuesday night. Hours later, many of the protesters had dispersed, although sporadic confrontations continued that were much smaller than in previous nights. The demonstrations have been mostly concentrated downtown and the curfew covers a 1-square-mile (2.5-square-kilometer) section that includes an area where protests have occurred since Friday in the sprawling city of 4 million. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom asked a court to put an emergency stop to the military helping federal immigration agents, with some guardsmen now standing in protection around agents as they carried out arrests. He said it would only heighten tensions and promote civil unrest. The judge set a hearing for Thursday, giving the administration several days to continue those activities. ▶ Read more about Tuesday night's protests

State Rep. Jolanda Jones to campaign for seat left vacant by congressman's death
AUSTIN (KXAN)– Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones announced Monday her campaign for Congress, seeking to fill the seat left vacant by Rep. Sylvester Turner's death earlier this year. The Houston Democrat becomes the latest candidate to enter what has become a competitive race for the 18th Congressional District, joining Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards, energy executive Zoe Cadore, realtor Peter Filler, community advocate Robert Slater and independent candidates Reyna Anderson and Chance Davis. Jones emphasized her commitment to protecting federal programs and constitutional freedoms in her campaign launch, positioning herself as an experienced advocate ready to confront Republican policy initiatives in Washington. The Nov. 4 special election will determine Turner's replacement in a district considered safely Democratic. Turner died in March after serving just two months of his first term. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee previously held the seat before her death in 2024. Gov. Greg Abbott sets Nov. 4 special election to fill U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner's seat Gov. Greg Abbott faced criticism from Democrats for waiting to schedule the special election until the November uniform election date, leaving the district without representation for nine months. However the extended timeline allowed Jones to complete the legislative session before launching her congressional campaign, as she had pledged to focus on her state house duties until the session concluded. Menefee criticized the governor's decision, stating it was 'unconscionable to leave nearly 800,000 people in this district without representation in Congress for most of the year.' Abbott defended the timeline, citing concerns about Harris County's election administration capabilities, though county officials disputed his characterization of their election operations. Jones brings diverse government experience to the congressional race. She has represented House District 147 at the State Capitol since winning the election in 2022, where she worked on criminal justice, health policy and redistricting issues. Before her legislative service, Jones spent four years on Houston City Council representing an at-large position from 2008-2012. She also served on the Houston Independent School District school board. The veteran attorney waited until the end of the legislative session to announce her congressional campaign, citing her responsibility to current constituents in the state house. Her legal practice spans more than two decades, during which she worked on high-profile cases including efforts to reform Houston's police crime laboratory following evidence handling problems. In Congress, Jones said she would prioritize defending social programs, including Social Security and Medicare from potential reductions. She also plans to advocate for expanded healthcare access and reproductive rights restoration. The candidate emphasized her long-standing advocacy for women's healthcare autonomy and pledged to work toward reversing federal abortion restrictions. Veterans' benefits protection and education funding would also receive focus under her congressional agenda, along with infrastructure investments for the Houston region. Several Democrats have already launched campaigns for the seat: Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee entered the race first, securing support from former congressional candidates Colin Allred and Beto O'Rourke. Lee's daughter, Erica Lee Carter, chairs his campaign organization. Former city council member Amanda Edwards brings municipal government experience and private sector leadership as head of a community solutions consulting firm. She spearheaded Houston's technology innovation initiatives during her council tenure and maintains extensive nonprofit board involvement. Energy industry executive Zoe Cadore is running after serving as a federal affairs director for Calpine Corporation. Her background includes policy work with the American Petroleum Institute and involvement in Turner's mayoral administration. Peter Filler, a real estate professional with environmental science training, offers urban forestry expertise and Texas teaching credentials to the race. Robert Slater campaigns on economic revitalization and public safety improvements, drawing from personal experiences growing up in underserved Houston communities. Independent candidates Chance Davis and Reyna Anderson, running under the 'Other' party designation, round out the field. The 18th District encompasses some of Houston's most politically active communities and serves as a crucial Democratic stronghold in Texas. With Republicans holding a narrow House majority, maintaining the seat remains important for Democratic legislative priorities. The extended vacancy has left constituents without representation during key congressional debates over federal spending and policy initiatives. Jones' candidacy adds state-level legislative experience to a field dominated by local government veterans and private sector professionals, potentially appealing to voters seeking Austin connections for federal advocacy.

Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones announces bid to succeed Sylvester Turner in Congress
State Rep. Jolanda Jones, D-Houston, on Monday jumped into the race for the congressional seat left open by the death of U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner, the former Houston mayor. 'The simple fact is no one will fight harder to stop Republicans from taking away our social security, our public schools, our health care, our constitutional rights and more,' Jones said in a statement announcing her campaign. Jones, an attorney and former Houston City Council member from 2008 to 2012, joins a slate of candidates running in the special election, including Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee and fellow former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards. 'I am the only candidate in this race who has fought for our families in the Legislature, in the courtroom, on city council and on the school board,' said Jones, who was elected to the Texas House in 2022. 'I helped shut down Houston's corrupt crime lab, helped extend Medicaid coverage for new mothers and their babies and cut taxes for seniors and homeowners.' Turner, who also served in the Texas House before his turn in Congress, died March 5, two months into his first term representing Texas' 18th Congressional District. The district, which contains historically significant neighborhoods for Houston's Black community, had been long represented by former U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who also died in office last year amid a battle with pancreatic cancer. The special election to fill the seat will take place Nov. 4. Gov. Greg Abbott called the election for November a month after Turner's death, leaving a solidly blue seat open for most of 2025 as Republicans work to push through President Donald Trump's agenda in a closely divided House. In Congress, Jones said she would 'fight to stop Trump cuts to healthcare and Medicaid, Social Security, education and veterans,' and work to expand healthcare coverage and affordability. She also emphasized bringing back the right to an abortion. 'I've been fighting my entire career for women's rights, bodies, and voices, and will never stop working to restore abortion rights to make sure women — not politicians — make their own healthcare decisions,' said Jones, a criminal and family lawyer with her own practice. The district is a Democratic stronghold, meaning the Democratic nominee is almost certain to win the election and could hold onto the seat for years. Menefee was the first to launch his campaign, and has secured high-profile endorsements, including former U.S. Reps. Colin Allred and Beto O'Rourke, who both challenged U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. Jackson Lee's daughter, Erica Lee Carter, is serving as his campaign chair after briefly representing the district after her mother's death. Jones said she 'deferred' her decision to run until the legislative session concluded this week so that she could focus on representing her constituents in the Texas House, where she served on the criminal jurisprudence, public health and redistricting committees. She was also the vice chair of the subcommittee on juvenile justice. 'I promised my constituents I would fight for them every day through the end of the legislative session — and I did exactly that,' she said. During the session, Jones worked closely with both Republicans and Democrats, including on legislation to ensure that certain criminal defendants are not held behind bars pretrial for periods longer than the maximum sentence for the alleged offense. Jones, a four-time national track and field champion, one-time contestant on CBS' Survivor and LGBTQ advocate who often speaks about her upbringing in poverty and familial tragedy, previously served on the Houston ISD Board of Trustees. One of her Republican colleagues, whom she worked with on the criminal jurisprudence committee, quickly gave a word of praise upon her announcement. 'This woman,' Rep. Mitch Little, R-Lewisville, posted on social media, 'is truly a forced to be reckoned with.' Big news: 20 more speakers join the TribFest lineup! New additions include Margaret Spellings, former U.S. secretary of education and CEO of the Bipartisan Policy Center; Michael Curry, former presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church; Beto O'Rourke, former U.S. Representative, D-El Paso; Joe Lonsdale, entrepreneur, founder and managing partner at 8VC; and Katie Phang, journalist and trial lawyer.
