33 investigations in Texas

Texas sits at the center of multiple high-visibility stories that intersect with fraud, waste, and enforcement: the southern border, trucking and commercial driver licensing, and local impacts of migration and federal policy.

What Has Been Documented

Archived material connected to Texas includes:

  • Border and migrant-related reporting — Site visits, interviews, and documentation of crossings, camps, and local effects
  • CDL and trucking industry concerns — Coverage of alleged fraud or abuse in commercial licensing and related safety issues
  • Local confrontations and public reaction — Street-level and community-level footage
  • Federal and state enforcement context — Overlap with ICE, border security, and state-level responses

Much of this content comes from citizen journalists who travel to the border region and to affected communities, supplemented by commentary and oversight coverage.

Why Texas Matters

Geography and volume. Texas processes a disproportionate share of southern border encounters and hosts major transportation corridors. When licensing, benefits, or enforcement systems fail or are abused, the consequences are visible and often large-scale.
