A Texas Law That Could Allow The Arrest Of Migrants Is In Limbo After SCOTUS Ruling
A federal appeals court late Tuesday issued an order that again prevents Texas from arresting migrants suspected of entering the U.S. illegally, hours after the Supreme Court allowed the strict new immigration law to take effect. The decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals comes weeks after a panel on the same court cleared the way for Texas to enforce the law by putting a pause on a lower judge’s injunction. But by a 2-1 order, a panel of the appeals court lifted that pause ahead of arguments before the court on Wednesday. Texas authorities had not announced any arrests made under the law. The conservative majority order rejected an emergency application from the Biden administration, which says the law is a clear violation of federal authority that would cause chaos in immigration law. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had praised the order clearing the way for the law that allows any police officer in Texas to arrest migrants for illegal entry and authorizes judges to order them to leave the U.S. The high court didn’t address whether the law is constitutional. The measure was sent to the appellate court, which made the late Tuesday ruling. Joining us to discuss is Arelis Hernández, national reporter for the Washington Post who covers the U.S. Southern border, Immigration and Texas.

CA Public Schools Lack Of Personal Finance Education Spurs A Campaign That Could Reach November Ballot
An initiative proposing a personal finance course be built into California’s mandated curriculum has amassed nearly 900,000 signatures, which may have enough momentum to reach November’s general election ballot. If the initiatives signatures are sufficiently certified and approved by voters, the course would be added to the handful of mandated social science courses like U.S. history, economics, as well as American government and civics. The initiative has been assisted by a $7 million campaign by Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance and an expert in the field of personal finance. So what should we expect from a course on personal finance and how much would it assist high schoolers heading into the adult world?
Today on AirTalk, we speak to Ranzetta about his ballot initiative and what would make the course as necessary as other social science subjects. We also want to hear from you, do you have a question or comment about the potential for this course?

People Are Switching To Their Hometown Banks. How Come?
As banks continue to consolidate, people are switching to smaller banks for convenience and local services that the largest banks can no longer offer. The banking industry has been changing as the biggest banks continue to grow and invest millions into new technology, often resulting in branch cuts and poor customer service. But small banks are growing too. As customers turn to smaller community banks for lower fees on loans and better rates on their deposits, some wonder how this will affect the banking industry. Most people stick to their bank unless there is a major life change. That’s not the case anymore.
Joining us today on AirTalk is Imani Moise, personal economics reporter for the Wall Street Journal and Delia Fernandez, Fee-Only Certified Financial Planner and Registered Investment Advisor.
Healing Meals: A Look At A New Course In ‘Culinary Medicine’
