Texas vs. an Invasive Fly, AISD Protestors Under Investigation, and Cameras in Parks

After testing a pilot security camera program for three years, Austin parks have seen a drop in crime. This week, the Austin Parks and Recreation Department will ask City Council for approval to expand the program. But amid concerns about mass surveillance and data privacy, what will council do? On today’s Tuesday News Roundup, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by producers Elissa Castles and Eva Ruth Moravec to break down the potential benefits and risks of the program. Plus, the team discusses a Texas task force gearing up to combat a deadly invasive fly, and why Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are investigating student protests.
