U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Drug Enforcement Administration conducted “targeted enforcement actions” in Austin and other cities on Sunday, the DEA Houston division confirmed.

“The DEA Houston division assisted DHS with their targeted enforcement actions. We’ve assisted in several cities to include Austin,” said DEA spokesperson Sally Sparks in a text message to KUT News.

The DEA Houston division operates in a large swath of Texas, all the way from the southern border to as far north as Waco.

The division posted photos associated with the operations on X, formerly known as Twitter, Sunday.

According to ICE, enforcement operations involve “the identification, arrest, detention and removal of aliens who are subject to removal or are unlawfully present in the United States.” KUT News has reached out to Homeland Securities Investigations for further details about Sunday’s operations.

The news of ICE’s activities in Austin comes just over a week after Trump administration “border czar” Tom Homan said ICE would begin conducting illegal immigration enforcement raids. Homan said those raids would begin Tuesday, Jan. 21, and identified Chicago as an early target in an interview with Fox News.

“We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens. That’s what’s gonna happen,” Homan said.

ICE confirmed to the Texas Newsroom that operations are also underway in North Texas, where dozens of individuals were arrested over the weekend.

KXAN was first to report the news of ICE’s operations in Austin.

This is a developing story.

AUSTIN, Texas – The Yellow Jackets faced the number one team in college tennis on Sunday but fell 0-4 to Texas in the championship match of the ITA Kickoff Weekend at the Austin Regional.

In doubles action, Texas jumped to a quick 1-0 lead on the day, claiming doubles courts one and three. The duo of Sebastian Eriksson and Jonah Braswell got a 6-3 over the Tech pairing of Gabriele Brancatelli and Robert Bauer, before the No. 7 ranked doubles team of Lucas Brown and Timo Legout got a 6-4 win over No. 19 Krish Arora and Christophe Clement.

In singles action, the Yellow Jackets were unable to stop the Longhorns’ momentum, eventually dropping three singles matches, and falling 0-4 in the championship match.

No. 90 ranked Nate Bonetto faced Legout, who is ranked No. 3, but fell 1-6, 1-6, putting Texas up 2-0.

Branctelli took on No. 2 Sebastian Gorzny, but dropped his match 3-6, 2-6.

When the Texas A&M Aggies were referred to as a “second half team,” this is not what it meant.

What started in Austin as another runaway win for the Aggie basketball team ended in heartbreak for the 12th Man, as Longhorns guard Tramon Mark hit in a layup off the glass with just three seconds left, capping off a 22-point comeback for Texas in Austin on Saturday.

The loss brings the No. 13 Aggies to 15-5 on the year and will likely result in a drop of their ranking in the AP Top 25.

Wade Taylor’s 15 points and Manny Obaseki’s 13 were the only points in double figures for the Aggies as the overall defensive collapse truly did the Maroon and White in at the Moody Center.

With that, here are some takeaways from the game.

Free Throw Woes Continue

The Aggies only attempted eight free throws in the contest, but they only made three of them, with the 37.5 percent displayed another upsetting performance from the line by the Ags. With the margin of this defeat, one can only imagine how the outcome would’ve been had the team been efficient at free throws today.

Improvement Beyond the Arc

What the Aggies lacked in free throws, they made up for in three-pointers, shooting 52.2 percent from downtown, making 12 of 23 shots.

Taylor IV led the way, sinking five of his eight three-point attempts.

Lack of Discipline?

The Longhorns, on the other hand, went 14-17 from the charity stripe off of 15 fouls by the Aggies. There is a good chance that this played the biggest role in the Texas comeback, and so the word from Buzz Williams to his men should be make free throws and prevent the other team from shooting free throws of their own.
