ā¢ Transforming communities during Steps Forward Day (post-register.com) ā Lockhartās Brock Cabin in Lions Park just got some extra care, with LCRA volunteers installing new landscaping and split-rail fencing as part of a statewide Steps Forward Day. The annual effort sent more than 750 employees to parks and public spaces across Texas, but Lockhart residents will see the benefits right in their own community park. Ā Ā Ā
ā¢ Where the Austin Area Stands With ICE Partnerships ā¢ The Austin Chronicle (austinchronicle.com) ā Lockhart residents are directly affected as Caldwell County leaders enthusiastically adopt two federal 287(g) agreements with ICE, including the far-reaching Task Force Model that can put ICE-deputized officers on local streets. The article contrasts this with more cautious Travis County officials and highlights concerns about community trust, racial profiling, and long-term costs for local governments across the Austin region.
