Gov. Ferguson’s new executive order:

TL;DR: If federal actions cause parents/caregivers to be deported/detained due to immigration status, the children will receive state support from the newly formed Family Separation Rapid Response Team, managed by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. The team will work with schools of all levels including universities and consult with existing immigration and child welfare experts.
