State of Texas - June 15, 2025

 Immigration raids ramp up, with some targeting workers on the job.  It's bringing backlash in the streets in the form of protests, but also from businesses.  We hear how President Trump is addressing the concerns, plus look at the crackdown from the perspective of a migrant deported after being detained on his way to work.

 A Texas law that allowed some students not legally in the country to qualify for in-state tuition at public universities has been reversed.  Adam Schwager reports on how the outcome is leaving many questions unanswered for schools and students.
 A new law opens the door for expanded research into Ibogaine, a psychedelic plant medicine.  Sam Stark reports on how stories from veterans helped push legislation to use the medicine to treat conditions like PTSD and addiction.  Also, we speak with former Governor Rick Perry, who has taken an active role in promoting psychedelics to help veterans.
 President Trump announces plans to restore the name of Fort Hood.  Currently, the army post is named after General Richard Cavazos, a native Texan who became the Army's first Hispanic four-star general.  We hear how a relative of Cavazos is responding to the change, and look at how the move skirts a federal law banning bases from being named for people who served in the Confederacy.
 State of Texas is a statewide, in-depth program focused solely on Texas politics. Produced at KXAN in Austin and airing in 14 markets across the state, the show gives viewers greater perspective on the Texas Legislature, state policy and elections.
