Texas Democratic candidate for governor Gina Hinojosa calls out Greg Abbott and ICE detentions

Texas State Representative Gina Hinojosa joins the show to address the rapid expansion of ICE detention facilities across Texas and what role state leaders are playing in allowing these warehouse-style sites to move forward.

Hinojosa discusses the growing number of large-scale detention projects, the overlap between state and federal authority, and why she believes local communities are being sidelined in the process. She outlines the political and legislative challenges involved in pushing back against these facilities and explains how oversight works — or fails to work — when private operators are involved. The conversation also examines the broader impact on Texas communities, the debate

over transparency and accountability, and what lawmakers can realistically do to slow or stop the expansion of detention infrastructure.
