                      <![CDATA[ <p>Eight people who were found guilty of <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/verdict-prairieland-alvarado-ice-facility-federal-trial/" target="_blank">terrorism-related charges</a></span> earlier this year for a 2025 <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/alvarado-police-officer-shot-suspects-open-fire-fourth-of-july-johnson-county/" target="_blank">attack on an ICE detention facility</a></span> in Alvarado, Texas, learned their punishments on Tuesday. One member of the group, identified as the group's leader, was sentenced to a century in prison.</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx">U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas</a> said on Monday that sentencing for the defendants would happen Tuesday morning. The verdicts, handed down in March, came as the defendants stood accused in the July 4, 2025, plot targeting the Prairieland ICE detention center following weeks of testimony from investigators, law enforcement and cooperating witnesses.</p><p>Benjamin Song was hit with the longest prison sentence: 100 years behind bars. Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Autumn Hill was sentenced to 50 years, along with Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris, and Elizabeth Soto. Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison.</p><p>Prosecutors said that the group launched a premeditated terror attack on the detention facility inspired by antifa ideology, by setting off fireworks, vandalizing property, and shooting at police officers who responded. One officer was struck in the neck with a bullet and survived.</p><p>In September 2025, the Trump administration <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-antifa-major-terrorist-organization/" target="_blank">designated antifa as a domestic terror group</a></span>. However, the designation did not create new criminal charges. Instead, it directed federal agencies to focus more resources on investigating antifa-related activity.</p><p>Critics of the move argued that antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an ideology, not an actual group with an organized leadership structure and membership. Subscribing to a specific ideology, they say, is not a crime.</p><p>There were nine defendants who went to trial and faced a total of 65 charges that included attempted murder, aiding terrorists, and weapons charges. Those who supported the defendants called the charges outrageous, saying the defendants were there protesting ICE and that the government had gone overboard to send a message.</p><p>The nine defendants found guilty at trial included:</p><ul><li>Autumn Hill (formerly Cameron Arnold)</li><li>Zachary Evetts</li><li>Benjamin Song</li><li>Savanna Batten</li><li>Meagan Morris (formerly Bradford Morris)</li><li>Maricela Rueda</li><li>Elizabeth Soto</li><li>Ines Soto</li><li>Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada</li></ul><p>Prosecutors said Morris, Rueda, Song, Arnold, Evetts, Batten, Sanchez-Estrada, and Elizabeth Soto were sentenced on Tuesday. Ines Soto is set to be sentenced on July 1.</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/02/23/47c11553-ff17-4d4a-b666-3f7609f574ce/thumbnail/620x349/2c2b297c903da8ad7e0341665c18809e/618acb93-5c96-456c-ae76-6b0758cc157a.png#" alt="Prairieland/Alvarado ICE defendants " height="349" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/02/23/47c11553-ff17-4d4a-b666-3f7609f574ce/thumbnail/620x349/2c2b297c903da8ad7e0341665c18809e/618acb93-5c96-456c-ae76-6b0758cc157a.png 1x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption"></span></figcaption></figure><p>Seven additional defendants pleaded guilty to a single count of providing material support to terrorists, and each faces up to 15 years in federal prison.</p><h2>What happened at the trial</h2><p>The trial featured testimony from investigators, law enforcement officers, and several cooperating witnesses.</p><p>Prosecutors showed surveillance footage of fireworks along the facility's tree line and evidence gathered after police arrived, including weapons, tactical gear, and vandalized vehicles.</p><p>Witnesses described how protesters set off fireworks, spray-painted cars, and fled when officers responded, while one cooperating witness testified that&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/defense-prosecution-rest-prairieland-ice-facility-shooting-federal-trial/">Benjamin Song</a></span>&nbsp;later admitted to shooting an officer.</p><p>Investigators also traced the defendants' phone locations and presented seized items from their homes. Testimony also detailed meetings, group chats, and efforts to help Song evade capture after the shooting.</p><p>Defense attorneys challenged the credibility of cooperating witnesses, questioned the use of terms like "tactical," and argued the group had gathered to protest rather than carry out a coordinated attack.&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/defense-prosecution-rest-prairieland-ice-facility-shooting-federal-trial/">None of the defense attorneys</a></span>&nbsp;chose to present their own cases, feeling that the government did not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.</p><h2>Reaction after the verdicts</h2><p>Alvarado Police Chief Teddy May welcomed the guilty verdicts, noting that Lt. Gross, the officer shot in the neck during the attack, has fully recovered. May said the outcome reflects the consequences of the choices made that night.</p><p>"It's unfortunate for&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/suspect-in-ice-facility-ambush-benjamin-hanil-song-added-to-texas-dps-10-most-wanted-list/">Mr. (Benjamin) Song</a></span>," he said. "He made some poor decisions, and it seems like he's now going to have to be paying his debt to society."</p><p>He also agreed with prosecutors that the defendants could not have reasonably believed they were attending a peaceful protest.</p><p>"I don't believe any reasonable person could believe the suspects didn't know what they were doing," May said.</p><p>He said the convictions bring closure for the injured officer, his family, and the department. May said officers were doing their jobs when they came under fire and thanked investigators and prosecutors for their work. He said the verdict reinforces their faith in the justice system and that the department remains focused on supporting officers and serving the community.</p>

Their efforts included bringing in a unit with an extended ladder to douse the flames in addition to a response on the ground. The blaze destroyed the building.

An employee we spoke with via phone confirmed the company had acquired the building within the last year, but that no staff members were in the building at the time. The employee also said they did not believe that any other company property was inside when the fire erupted.</p><p>Several homes were also observed to be near the scene.</p><p>CBS News Texas has reached out to the emergency response officials for more information. The Fort Worth Fire Department did confirm it was assisting, but was not the main responding agency.</p>

The park said the testing process for the 309-foot-tall roller coaster is taking longer than expected. </p><p>In a social media post on Monday, the park said, "While this means pausing our current opening timeline, it ensures that when Tormenta charges out of the gates, it will be a ride experience worthy of its name&mdash;bold, intense, and unforgettable." </p><h2>Ride will break six world records </h2><p>The Tormenta Rampaging Run is inspired by Spain's Running of the Bulls. The coaster will be located in a new section of Six Flags called Rancho de la Tormenta, featuring Cocina Abuela &ndash; a Spanish/Latin American restaurant.</p><p>The ride, designed by coaster manufacturer Bolliger &amp; Mabillard, will begin with a 309-foot climb, followed by a 95-degree beyond-vertical drop, and will include sharp turns, airtime moments and multiple inversions.</p><p>It will break six records when it opens: The tallest dive coaster (309 feet), the fastest dive coaster (87 mph), the longest dive coaster (4,199 feet), the tallest vertical coaster loop (179 feet), the highest Immelmann inversion (218 feet), and the highest 95-degree beyond vertical drop (285 feet).</p><p>A new opening date has not been set.&nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Nearly a year ago, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/feature/central-texas-flooding/" target="_blank">communities in the Texas Hill Country were devastated by floods</a></span> that claimed the lives of 137 people, 37 of whom were children. On Tuesday, leaders are shared an update on housing recovery for those still facing the impacts.</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/essentials/n95-like-masks-for-kids/">Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country</a>&nbsp;hosted a news conference at 10 a.m. in a new neighborhood in Kerrville. Leaders promised to share the most comprehensive update yet on housing recovery efforts aimed at helping survivors return to safe, permanent housing. The briefing took place in the new Marisposa neighborhood.</p><p>Tuesday's briefing also featured leaders from Habitat for Humanity Kerr County, the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation, Connective, and the Hunt Preservation Society.</p><p>The foundation, a nonprofit based in Kerrville and founded in 1982, says it is dedicated to improving the quality of life across the Hill Country region by connecting donors with community needs.</p><p>In addition to the lives lost, the flooding caused between $18 to 22 billion in damage across the region, including to homes and businesses.</p><h2>"Housing is the foundation"</h2><p>Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, said nearly a year after the devastation, the results of the work done to help people get back to permanent housing were evident, from housing to mental health.</p><p>"Housing has been our single largest investment," he said, "because housing is the foundation upon which every other aspect of recovery depends."</p><p>Dickson said 43% of granted funds have been dedicated to housing. In less than a year, Dickson said 130 households had already returned to stable, permanent housing. Another 98 households are actively progressing to that, he added, and more than 180 families are in temporary housing programs.</p><p>Dickson also shared his gratitude for the 32 disaster case workers who have helped the survivors navigate the process.</p><p>"Thank you for all you have done, and all you continue to do for this community and our home," he said, garnering applause from the gathered audience.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>As the <a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas/tag/nba">NBA</a> free agent season gets underway, an idea has been floated in the national media that the pressure is on the Los Angeles Lakers this summer to start creating a team that <a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas/tag/luka-doncic">Luka Doncic</a> likes ... or else.</p><p>Or else Luka will want out of Los Angeles, and he just may want to return to the city that he loves. The city that adores him.&nbsp;</p><p>That would be Dallas.</p><p>Keep in mind, this is purely conjecture on the part of NBA pundits, but the fact that Nico Harrison no longer works for the <a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas/tag/dallas-mavericks">Mavericks</a>&nbsp;makes some believe the idea is plausible.&nbsp;</p><p>However, a Doncic reunion with the Mavericks is not easy to envision. After all, Mavs Governor Patrick Dumont publicly criticized Luka's work ethic in the immediate aftermath of the trade with the Lakers last year, saying, "If you look at the greats in the <br>league, the people you and I grew up with - Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Shaq - they worked really hard, every day, with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, it doesn't work, and you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks."</p><p>So, is it even possible that Luka could return to Dallas?</p><p>Barring a trade, which is highly unlikely, any chance of it happening would be at least two years away. Luka's under contract for two more seasons, and he has a player option for the 2028-29 season as well. He is also eligible for a massive $417 million contract extension before 2028.</p><p>Much like the situation the Mavericks would have faced with a looming monster Doncic contract extension decision last year, the summer of 2028 figures to be the tipping point on Luka's future with the Lakers.</p><p>That's when Doncic can decide if the Lakers have done enough to put a championship team around him. And it's also when the Lakers can decide whether to make a nearly $500 million commitment to Don&#269;i&#263;.</p><p>So, the Lakers are on the clock.</p><p>Meanwhile, in the words of new Mavericks President Masai Ujiri, "We've planted a Flagg here. We have one player here that can turn everything, and it is so hard to find in sports."</p>

"So I was looking for someone to renovate and repair and made a bad decision."</p><p>She says she hired an independent contractor who agreed to redo the pool for $35,000, which, within weeks, was raised to $70,000.&nbsp;</p><p>"I started checking the books and all the invoices and started adding up stuff," her son, Robert Maier, said. "And no progress in three months, and found out he was a bad guy and a convicted felon."</p><p>"He did a terrible job," she said. "It was substandard, it wouldn't even probably pass inspection ... It was just devastating."</p><p>When Ryan Wade Hoffman, with Veteran's Pool Company, heard about what happened, he was at her house the very next day.&nbsp;</p><p>"When I saw this scenario and then got the backstory of it, there was just no way that I could walk away," Hoffman said.</p><p>Hoffman offered to renovate the pool and surrounding area at no charge to the veteran's widow. He hopes to have the project finished in a few months and has acquired help from a dozen other companies that all believe it's a fitting tribute to the late veteran.&nbsp;</p><p>"I had a spouse who was home alone a lot, and I would hate for someone to be taking advantage of her while I was gone," said Hoffman.</p><p>"They came to my rescue," Mary Beth Maier   said. "Ryan Hoffman and a wonderful pool company."</p><p>The 94-year-old, who's temporarily in a physical rehab facility, got to thank the pool company owner in person on Monday and says she can't wait to come home and step into her backyard.&nbsp;</p><p>"Oh yes, I'm looking forward to that, and I hope it's going to be pretty soon," she said. "And I think it will be."</p>

"It has been a really cool experience."&nbsp;</p><p>For as long as she can remember, the store manager said she's been a collector.&nbsp;</p><p>"Most definitely, I did start with my dad when I was younger," she said. "It has brought us together. We watched the games, we do the books. I kind of get to know some of the players."&nbsp;</p><p>Fans buy packs featuring players, team crests, stadiums, and tournament cards. Then they try to fill every spot in the album. This year's edition is the biggest ever, with close to 1,000 stickers.</p><p>Every pack of stickers is random, so collectors end up with duplicates. That's where sticker swaps come in.</p><p>"We had one here a couple weeks ago here at the store," Quintana said. "Very cool experience. It brought a lot of people into the store."&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;"I like collecting the France ones because I support them and what is most exciting about it is when you find good players," Neriah Mofor said.&nbsp;</p><p>It's not just kids joining the hunt.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;"It's been pretty crazy trying to find them," Denise Gonzalez said. "We're trying to dig through all the stores and find all these Coke bottles everywhere, but it's been really hard to find them."&nbsp;</p><p>Soccer City recently sold out of its inventory and now, another shipment is on the way. &nbsp;</p>

Moore with Stafford Moore PLLC.</p><p>"Our appellate team has been retained following the conviction to conduct a fresh, independent review of the trial record," the group said in a statement. "We recognize the profound loss suffered by one young man's family and the uncertainty facing another, and we extend our respect to everyone whose lives have been forever changed by these events.<br>"Our responsibility is to determine whether a legal error occurred and to ensure that every issue supported by the record is fully and vigorously presented on appeal.<br>"The appellate process exists for precisely this purpose."</p><p>Attorney Mike Howard represented Anthony during the murder trial.&nbsp;</p><p>Last week, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/karmelo-anthony-murder-trial-evidence-public/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">evidence from the murder trial was released</a> to the public by the Collin County judge who presided over the case, Judge John Roach. It was the first time the public had the opportunity to see the still images and video, as no cameras were allowed inside the courtroom during the trial.  </p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A man who was badly injured in the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-apartment-fire-9th-street-oak-cliff/" target="_blank">gas explosion</a></span> at a Dallas apartment building has filed a <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-explosion-survivor-plans-negligence-lawsuit/" target="_blank">lawsuit</a></span> against Atmos seeking more than $1 billion in damages. A new filing in Dallas County court alleges that the gas company's negligence caused the explosion that left <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/oak-cliff-apartment-explosion-vigil-honors-three-victims/" target="_blank">three people dead</a></span> and others injured, and families without homes.</p><p>Attorneys filed the lawsuit on behalf of Eric Peters, who was working from home in his second-floor apartment in The Clyde when the explosion happened on May 28. Peters regained consciousness among the rubble and surrounded by flames, the lawsuit says. He was able to escape but "suffered physical injuries and profound psychological and emotional damages," according to the lawsuit.</p><p>The lawsuit claims that Atmos had responded to nine service calls in the area between January of 2025 and May of 2026, where crews identified old orange gas pipes made of <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/deadly-dallas-apartment-explosion-investigation-natural-gas-leaks/" target="_blank">material prone to leaks</a></span>. Gas pipes of the same orange plastic were found at the site of a <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/lake-dallas-home-explosion-lawsuit-jessica-bailey-lopez/" target="_blank">March gas explosion in Lake Dallas</a></span>.</p><p>On five occasions in the two months leading up to the explosion, the lawsuit alleges that Atmos crews "failed to stop the leaks or replace any of the pipe. Rather, when the crew removed the old gas meter off the back of the building, they exposed the end of Atmos Energy's service line that runs under The Clyde from the street &mdash; thus revealing that it was the dangerous orange pipe. Then, with full knowledge that orange pipe was under The Clyde, the crew simply connected a new meter and left the orange pipe leaking."</p><h2>Lawsuit: Atmos did not properly mark gas line before drilling</h2><p>The explosion at the Clyde happened as a <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-texas-apartment-explosion-claims-5-30-2026/" target="_blank">subcontractor was drilling</a></span> for soil samples on the property.&nbsp;</p><p>According to the lawsuit, Atmos responded to an <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/company-called-811-before-work-that-led-to-natural-gas-leak-deadly-dallas-apartment-explosion/" target="_blank">811 request</a></span> to mark its underground infrastructure two days before the explosion that included GPS coordinates of the planned drilling sites. Atmos did not mark the correct sites, the lawsuit alleges, and the drill struck the gas line about two feet below the concrete.</p><h2>Plaintiff asks judge for order to preserve evidence</h2><p>Monday's lawsuit also asks the judge to order Atmos to preserve evidence from the site of the explosion.&nbsp;</p><p>Atmos has done extensive repair work in the neighborhood around The Clyde since the explosion, and the plaintiff's attorneys say they want to make sure things like gas meters, valves and pipes are preserved ahead of a trial.&nbsp;</p><p>The filing says that attorneys for Atmos would not agree on a protocol to preserve the evidence, and asks the judge to impose one.</p><p>Monday, the judge granted the temporary restraining order, which requires Atmos to preserve any evidence related to the case and investigation.</p><h2>Atmos says it's supporting NTSB investigation</h2><p>Atmos released the following statement to CBS News Texas:</p><blockquote><p><em>"Atmos Energy's service line to the Clyde Apartments was struck on May 28th by Barba Drilling, a third-party drilling company unrelated to Atmos Energy. Claims that the type of pipe involved in the incident at the Clyde Apartments was an orange pipe sometimes referred to as "Poly 1" are false. "Poly 1" pipe was installed only in the years 1970 and 1971, and this type of pipe was not present at the incident site.&nbsp;<br>A professional line location and damage prevention company contracted by Atmos Energy performed locating services prior to the incident.&nbsp; Atmos Energy is continuing to support the National Transportation Safety Board and other authorities to ensure a thorough investigation. The safety of our communities and employees is our first priority. &nbsp;Our hearts go out to the people who were lost, their families, and everyone who has been impacted."</em></p></blockquote>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Iran would allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, describing the first day of <a target="_blank" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-trump-us-deal-strait-of-hormuz/">U.S.-Iran negotiations in Switzerland</a> as "Very, very good."&nbsp;</p><p>His comments come as Texas' two Republican Senators have expressed concerns publicly about the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-iran-deal-memorandum-of-understanding-text/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">Memorandum of Understanding</a> (MOU) to end the war with Iran. The MOU gives the regime a way to have its economic sanctions lifted, the ability to sell its oil on the world market and potentially get hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild its country.</p><p><a target="_blank" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/tag/john-cornyn/">Sen. John Cornyn</a>, R-Texas, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-senators-ted-cruz-john-cornyn-express-concerns-president-trump-vp-vances-iran-deal-memorandum-understanding/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">expressed his reservations</a> to reporters in Washington late last week but reminded them that he supported President Trump's war against Iran.&nbsp;</p><p>"I believe he has delayed the Iranian regime's ability to get a nuclear weapon, which is very, very important," Cornyn said. "But my hope would have been that he would have finished the job and basically eliminated that threat."</p><p><a target="_blank" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/tag/ted-cruz/">Sen.Ted Cruz</a>, R-Texas, also praised the president for deciding to bomb Iran but <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-senators-ted-cruz-john-cornyn-express-concerns-president-trump-vp-vances-iran-deal-memorandum-understanding/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">questioned the MOU</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>"History demonstrates that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is an exceptionally bad idea, and I think the president is receiving some really bad advice on this deal," Cruz said. "I don't want to see us send a penny to the Ayatollah, and I hope that we don't."</p><h2>CBS News poll finds few Americans  say U.S. got better of agreement with Iran</h2><p>Despite the bombings against Iran, a<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/opinion-poll-iran-war/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true"> new CBS News Poll</a> finds most people don't believe the U.S. has succeeded in completing one of its objectives: eliminating Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon.&nbsp;</p><p><a target="_blank" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/team/anthony-salvanto/">Anthony Salvanto</a>, CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, told CBS News Texas, "This looks like a lot of unfinished business to members of the public because almost seven in ten say they don't think the U.S. has permanently ended Iran's nuclear program."&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;The vice president spoke with reporters on Monday about progress that he said is being made. &nbsp;</p><p>"We have the Iranians allowing weapons inspectors, nuclear inspectors into their country for the first time in a long time," said Vance. "We're obviously going to bolster that inspection regime to make sure they can never have a nuclear weapon."</p><p>Salvanto said rising gas prices have fueled the war's unpopularity.&nbsp;</p><p>"A big part of that is frankly gas prices, and you'll recall people have been telling us throughout that the increase in gas prices has really hit them financially pretty hard," said Salvanto. "In fact, the more they say that, the more they want to see the conflict end."&nbsp;</p><p>But prices are going down after the MOU announcement.&nbsp;</p><p>"We set up the mechanism to ensure not only the Straits of Hormuz are open but will stay open," Vance said. "We saw, we think about 15 million barrels of oil come out. That's one of the reasons why oil is so low right now. Obviously, that means lower gas prices and gas prices are going to keep coming down."&nbsp;</p><p>While Vance said there has been a lot of progress, he also said there is still a lot of work to do.&nbsp;</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/eye-on-politics/"><em>Watch Eye On Politics at 7:30 Sunday morning on CBS News Texas on air and streaming</em></a></p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A crowd of more than 70,000 people witnessed history in Arlington, Texas, on Monday afternoon as soccer icon Lionel Messi scored the 17th and 18th goals in his FIFA World Cup career, setting the all-time record for the tournament and leading Argentina to a 2-0 victory against Austria.</p><p>Messi passed Germany's Miroslav Klose for the record, sending a left-footed strike into the back of the net in the 38th minute that gave Argentina a 1-0 lead <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/2026-fifa-world-cup-argentina-austria-dallas-texas-6-22-2026/" target="_blank">against Austria</a></span> in Group J play. Messi nearly had the record earlier in the game, but he missed a penalty kick wide right, leaving the crowd stunned.</p><p>The goal came two days before Messi's 39th birthday and amid the concern of an ailing father back at home. It was the sixth consecutive World Cup game in which Messi has scored a goal.</p><p>"There were moments when I was really angry about missing the penalty, but I was able to make up for it," Messi said. <br> <br>In the waning seconds of injury time, Messi extended his record by sending a shot through several defenders after Schlager turned away his first attempt. He entered the game even with Germany striker Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 goals over four World Cups from 2002-14.</p><p>Messi added another goal in the stoppage time, sealing the victory for Argentina and securing a place in the knockout round.</p><p>Messi was only in position to set the record on Monday because he netted his first career FIFA World Cup <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/messi-ties-mens-world-cup-goals-record-with-first-world-cup-hat-trick-as-argentina-tops-algeria/" target="_blank">hat trick</a></span> in Argentina's opening game against Algeria.&nbsp;</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/06/22/f8da29e4-f62d-4a4b-aa17-f5e8f272936b/thumbnail/620x413/354ce38f7d0e14b166be19135523ba3b/gettyimages-2282792139.jpg#" alt="Argentina v Austria: Group J - FIFA World Cup 2026 " height="413" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/06/22/f8da29e4-f62d-4a4b-aa17-f5e8f272936b/thumbnail/620x413/354ce38f7d0e14b166be19135523ba3b/gettyimages-2282792139.jpg 1x, https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/06/22/f8da29e4-f62d-4a4b-aa17-f5e8f272936b/thumbnail/1240x826/4a3f95d0eb4486c141c3356cd540a4f7/gettyimages-2282792139.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group J match between Argentina and Austria at Dallas Stadium on June 22, 2026 in Arlington, Texas.</span><span class="embed__credit">

                          </span></figcaption></figure><p>Two days before his 39th birthday and with an ailing father back home, Messi celebrated twice with teammates to the delight of the decidedly pro-Argentine crowd at the sold-out home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. <br> <br>Most of those fans were wearing Messi's familiar No. 10 jersey with white and blue stripes, dwarfing the small pockets of red-clad Austrian supporters under the retractable roof that offered air-conditioned comfort on the second day of what is sure to be another hot Texas summer. <br> <br>The scoring record came 40 years to the day since Maradona's "goal of the century" - another No. 10 who made a solo run from the other side of midfield to give Argentina a two-goal lead in a 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals in Mexico City. Argentina went on to win the title. <br> <br>Messi joined Just Fontaine and Jairzinho as the only players to score in six straight World Cup games. Argentina extended its winning streak in the tournament to eight since a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in its 2022 opener in Qatar. <br> <br>Messi has scored all five of Argentina goals in the tournament and has 12 World Cup goals since turning 35. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner as soccer's best player in Europe had his first World Cup hat trick in Argentina's 3-0 win over Algeria in its Group J opener last week in Kansas City. <br> <br>Austria, which opened with a 3-1 victory over Jordan, can advance with a win over Algeria on Saturday in Kansas City.</p><p>Fans in North Texas could have another chance to see Messi add to his record on Saturday if he takes the pitch as <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/2026-fifa-world-cup-matches-arlington-att-dallas-stadium/" target="_blank">Argentina takes on Jordan</a></span> at 9 p.m. for the final match of the Group Stage.&nbsp;</p>

Messi, who also plays for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami CF, is the Argentina national team's leading scorer and is renowned for the records he has set in his expansive career.</p><p>Messi, who will turn 39 years old this week, could very well make FIFA World Cup history. During the opening match against Algeria, Messi scored his 16th World Cup goal as part of a hat trick, matching the record set by Miroslav Klose.&nbsp;</p><p>One more goal would set a new record.</p><h2>Austria's World Cup outlook</h2><p>Austria has not yet brought home a FIFA World Cup title, but there is plenty of history on the pitch for the team; Austria has qualified on a total of eight occasions. The furthest Austria has gotten was third place in 1954 at the fifth cup in Switzerland. Before that, Austria made it to fourth place in the second-ever cup in 1934, hosted in Italy.</p><p>For the 2026 cup, Austria has gotten off to a strong start, defeating Jordan 3-1 in San Francisco less than a week ago. The team has also won all but one of its pre-tournament friendlies; the one friendly match they didn't win was a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina.</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/06/22/bd6de342-aa16-4d0d-ad46-4fcfe70a839b/thumbnail/620x413/53d6ece69b51bf60278f3a0090bf4ad1/gettyimages-2282318936.jpg#" alt="Austria v Jordan: Group J - FIFA World Cup 2026 " height="413" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/06/22/bd6de342-aa16-4d0d-ad46-4fcfe70a839b/thumbnail/620x413/53d6ece69b51bf60278f3a0090bf4ad1/gettyimages-2282318936.jpg 1x, https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/06/22/bd6de342-aa16-4d0d-ad46-4fcfe70a839b/thumbnail/1240x826/8c9f52d8af594e94ebcd92fab05ca90c/gettyimages-2282318936.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">David Alaba #8 of Austria celebrates after the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group J match between Austria and Jordan.</span><span class="embed__credit">

                      <![CDATA[ <p><a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas/tag/republicans">Texas Republican leaders</a>&nbsp;repeated their urgent message at the state party's recent convention in Houston: unity drives victory.&nbsp;</p><p>Even so, Republicans made a major change in party leadership, selecting Vice Chair D'rinda Randall as their new Chair of the Texas GOP over existing Chairman <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/texas-gop-chairman-discusses-texas-senate-race-paxton-as-republican-candidate-and-midterm-elections/" target="_blank">Abraham George</a></span>. Paige the Elephant was also brought to the convention in a surprise appearance after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's speech. As she was being escorted around the venue, she stopped to urinate on the floor.&nbsp;</p><p><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-new-world-screwworms-usda-mexico-cattle/" target="_blank">Abbott</a></span> is seeking a fourth term, and during his speech to attendees, he criticized the top three Democrats on the statewide ballot this fall.&nbsp;</p><p>"The Austin woke agenda is on the ballot, literally, because most of the statewide Democrats running for office, they reside in the people's republic of Austin, and they govern like it. Well, that's not Texas. That's California. It's New York. It's Minnesota. But our job is to make sure that does not happen. Our job is to keep Texas, Texas this election."&nbsp;</p><p>The governor said he wants to eliminate school property taxes on most homeowners, impose a further crackdown on violent offenders, protect the Texas grid by requiring data centers to generate their own power and water, and ban Sharia law in Texas.&nbsp;</p><p>He also reminded Republicans of his record to secure the southern border and took a swipe at Democratic Senate candidate <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/ken-paxton-john-cornyn-james-talarico-hinojosa-abbott-continue-attacks-texas-barbecue-senate/" target="_blank">James Talarico</a></span>.&nbsp;</p><p>"I got to tell you, Jimmy Talarico talks about six sexes," Abbott said. I have no idea what six genders Jimmy is talking about. We all know there are only two sexes. There's Jimmy, and there's Janet, and that's all there is."&nbsp;</p><p>The Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Ken Paxton, laid out his vision to convention-goers.&nbsp;</p><p>"I'm running to lower your cost of living. I'm running to carry the torch for the America First agenda and pass the SAVE America Act," Paxton said.</p><p>Paxton also blasted Talarico and his policies.&nbsp;</p><p>"If he wins, I can guarantee you this - he will not represent Texas values in Washington. He'll represent Chuck Schumer. He'll represent the radical trans activists," Paxton said. "He'll represent the national Democrats and the same failed agenda that has crushed communities across America. Texas cannot afford that. America cannot afford that. If we lose Texas, you know what I'm going to say. We will lose America."</p><p>After the Texas GOP held its convention, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/ken-paxtons-attorney-impeachment-trial-endorses-james-talarico-us-senate-race/" target="_blank">Paxton</a></span> reportedly confirmed during a tele town hall last week that Republicans will hold a special midterm convention in Dallas in September and that President Trump will speak. Patrick Svitek of CNN quoted Paxton as saying, "I know that we are having the midterm convention in Dallas in September. I know that we anticipate him coming to that and speaking."&nbsp;</p><p>A source told <a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas">CBS News Texas</a> that Republicans have reserved the American Airlines Center for the first two weeks of September, but the RNC has not officially booked the venue just yet.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong><em>This week's full episode can be found below:</em></strong></h3>

In an interview with <a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas">CBS News Texas</a>, Hernandez said the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-primary-runoff-takeaways-paxton-cornyn-talarico-trump/" target="_blank">Latino vote</a></span> will have a sizable impact on the midterm elections in November.&nbsp;</p><p>"I think Texas Latinos have a substantial impact, and Latinos have had an impact for a very long time," said Hernandez. "But what we are seeing certainly across the nation, in all of these special elections and primaries that we have been seeing, there is a huge swing of Latino voters that in the past have voted predominantly more towards Republicans and favored Trump during his last re-election."&nbsp;</p><p>"What we're seeing is now the Latino community is swinging the other way," Hernandez added. "That's because of a lot of policies that we're seeing, not just on the national level, but here in Texas, on the local level as well. Right here in Fort Worth, we were able to elect Taylor Remet in a very Latino district."</p><p>In 2024, Trump won most of the counties along the southern border in Texas. But Hernandez said she believes those results would be different now.&nbsp;</p><p>"We were talking about the inflation going up. Homeowners' insurance, insurance in general, is going up, gas prices going up because of the war in Iran &mdash; all of those things," she said. "They are finding it a lot harder, just like any other family and community, to make ends meet. So, what they were promised about essentially more of that economic lift up of the community, they're not seeing it."&nbsp;</p><p>In addition to that, Hernandez said: "They're seeing people around them who look like them essentially being rounded up and thrown into detention centers."</p><p>Hernandez said the sentiments will end up helping Democrats in November.&nbsp;</p><p>"I absolutely believe that it will be a very good year for Democrats," she said.&nbsp;</p><p>Last year, Texas Republicans <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/sen-ted-cruz-discusses-scotus-decisions-on-redistricting-third-attempted-assassination-of-trump/" target="_blank">redrew</a></span> five Congressional Districts in the state to benefit their party in November. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the maps to be used for the 2026 primaries and general election this year, but the legal case brought against the State of Texas remains ongoing in a lower federal court and may reach trial sometime next year.&nbsp;</p><p>But Hernandez believes Democrats could win at least three of the five seats, including the 15th, 28th, and 34th Congressional Districts in South Texas.&nbsp;</p><p>"It is a very bold prediction, and I'm hoping that that will be the case based off the Latino vote," she said.</p><p>In the 15th Congressional district, Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz faces Democrat Bobby Pulido, a Tejano music icon.&nbsp; The Cook Political Report rates this race as "Likely Republican." In the 28th District, Democratic incumbent Henry Cuellar faces Republican Tano Tijerina, a Webb County Judge. The Cook Political Report rates this race as "Lean Democrat."&nbsp;</p><p>In the 34th Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Vicente Gonzalez faces Republican Eric Flores, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and a Texas Army National Guard Captain. This race is rated a "Toss Up" by the Cook Political Report.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong><em>This week's full episode can be found below:</em></strong></h3>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Some former <a target="_blank" href="https://cbsnews.com/texas/tag/dallas">Dallas</a> Mayors want a big change in how the city of Dallas works.  <br> <br>It comes after controversy erupted over the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-city-council-votes-to-explore-new-sites-for-city-hall/" target="_blank">future of City Hall</a></span> - whether city leaders should spend at least half a billion dollars in repairs or move out of the nearly 50-year-old, I.M. Pei-designed building and sell the land for redevelopment.<br> <br><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-convention-center-redesign-cost-delay-visit-dallas-revenue-loss/" target="_blank">Council members rejected</a></span> the repair plan earlier this month and last week approved spending up to $3 million to begin negotiating with downtown property owners to potentially relocate city hall and other offices to their buildings.  <br> <br>There's another controversy brewing, this one over the city's new nearly $4 billion <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-convention-center-redesign-cost-delay-visit-dallas-revenue-loss/" target="_blank">convention center</a></span>. After construction began, a costly redesign may be needed because the project's impact on two viaducts could hamper traffic into downtown from southern Dallas. Council members are set to vote next week on what to do.  <br> <br>Former Mayors <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/former-dallas-mayor-tom-leppert-weighs-in-on-plans-to-fix-or-sell-city-hall/" target="_blank">Tom Leppert</a></span> and <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/former-dallas-mayor-laura-miller-weighs-in-on-plans-to-fix-or-sell-city-hall/" target="_blank">Laura Miller</a></span> say the mayor needs to have more power and that the city manager form of government no longer works.&nbsp;</p><p>"The nub of the problem is that you've got six council members who don't even know what's going on, because the city manager doesn't even talk to them. And that's why we need to get rid of the city manager form of government," Miller told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/team/jack-fink/">Jack Fink</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Miller clarified that, "the city manager can be the chief operating officer, but the city manager should be hired by the mayor. And answer to the mayor. And answer to the mayor and the council."<br> <br>She told Fink that currently, "the city manager doesn't isn't accountable to anybody, which is why we're in the problem that we're in. You know, no city manager in my lifetime that I've been covering and serving in City Hall has ever been fired. Some should have been fired, but they weren't fired. There's never enough. There are never ten of 15 council members that pull the trigger and fire a bad city manager."<br> <br>"I think it's time that we've got to reevaluate the governance structure," Leppert said to Jack in an interview. "We need to look and see that it's not as effective as it needs to be, especially when we need to compete all across this nation and all across the world. I'll stop short of giving terms, terms attached to it, but I think, yes, the mayor has to be in a stronger position to basically identify a vision. Walk our entire populace there and have the tools to be able to accomplish that."<br> </p><h3><strong><em>This week's full episode can be found below:</em></strong></h3>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>After supporting President Trump's war against Iran, Texas Senators <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/senator-john-cornyn-on-campaign-trail-ahead-of-paxtons-win-for-republican-senate-seat-nomination/" target="_blank">John Cornyn</a></span> and <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cruz-doj-anti-weaponization-fund-blanche-meeting-gop-revolt/" target="_blank">Ted Cruz</a></span> said they're now concerned by the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/trump-discusses-memorandum-of-understanding-at-g7-summit/" target="_blank">memorandum of understanding (MOU)</a></span> with Iran.&nbsp;</p><p>Cruz <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-deal-reaction-trump-republicans-democrats/" target="_blank">questioned</a></span> some of the provisions of the deal in remarks to reporters at the U.S. Capitol late last week.&nbsp;</p><p>"History demonstrates that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is an exceptionally bad idea," said Cruz. "And I think, unfortunately, the president is receiving some really bad advice on this deal. I don't want to see us send a penny to the Ayatollah."</p><p>Cornyn said he hadn't seen the MOU when asked about it Thursday.&nbsp;</p><p>"I'm looking forward to seeing it, but everything I've heard about it causes me concern," he told reporters.&nbsp;</p><p>"I supported the President's Operation Epic Fury because I believe he has delayed the Iranian regime's ability to get a nuclear weapon, which is very, very important," Cornyn added. "But my hope would have been that he would have finished the job and basically eliminated that threat in the future."</p><p>For their part, both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance &mdash; who led the negotiations with Iran &mdash; praised the deal. In France last week, the president told reporters, "Ending the current conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. That's what it was all about."&nbsp;</p><p>At the White House, Vance said, "The only way the Iranians get any of those resources, not a single penny by the way, from the United States of America under any circumstances, but the only way that they would ever get any benefit of the bargain is if they comply fully and change their behavior."</p><p>Under the MOU, Iran will be given a way to have its economic sanctions lifted, the ability to sell its oil on the world market, and potentially receive hundreds of billions of dollars, but not from the U.S., to rebuild its country.&nbsp;</p><p>Cruz said the regime shouldn't be allowed to receive the money no matter where it comes from.&nbsp;</p><p>"The most catastrophic foreign policy decision that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made was to flow $100 billion to Iran. That money funded terrorism across the globe in a very real sense," Cruz said. "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's billions that they sent to Iran funded October 7th and the horrific atrocities that occurred on that day. If we give billions of dollars to Iran, that money will be used to murder Americans, and so I don't believe we should do that."&nbsp;</p><p>Cornyn agreed.&nbsp;</p><p>"They'll use that money that is being released to rebuild their ballistic missile arsenal and begin to enrich again, and that's going to be a continuing danger," he said. "Obviously, the money can also be used to support the Iranian proxies: the Houthis, Hezbollah, Shia militias, Hamas. And so, I'm interested in learning more about it. But I think it's certainly a mixed bag at best."&nbsp;</p><p>According to the White House, 992 Americans, most of them members of the military, have been killed by Iran or its proxies since 1979.&nbsp;</p><p>While Cruz expressed concerns about the MOU, he praised the President for destroying Iran's military.&nbsp;</p><p>"It took the Iranian regime 47 years to build that military," said Cruz. "It took the U.S. military 39 days to utterly destroy it. I do not believe we should now be rebuilding the military we just destroyed. President Trump's leadership, taking out the Iranian military and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, was strong, decisive leadership that made America safer. The President was acting as commander-in-chief to protect Americans. I'm grateful for that."</p><h3><strong><em>This week's full episode can be found below:</em></strong></h3>

The redesign is under consideration because the current plans would cut off access to the Jefferson Viaduct, affecting drivers coming from Oak Cliff.</p><p>City Manager Kimberly Tolbert is urging the council to vote against the redesign. Tolbert announced earlier this week that changing course would delay the project into 2030 and create significant economic impacts.</p><p>"Since we closed the center in 2025, we've lost 3,000 associated jobs from not having a fully functioning," said Craig Davis, Visit Dallas CEO.</p><p>A redesign would cost nearly $600 million. Davis said the city stands to lose $1.5 million each month in anticipated hotel tax revenue during the closure, which was already expected to last through 2029.</p><p>"Then any potential delay past that is going to get exponentially worse. There's reputational damage that's taking place because we've moved groups that we had promised," Davis said.</p><p>The City Council is expected to vote on the redesign on Wednesday.</p>
