With the Biden Administration vowing to relax immigration enforcement along the Southwest Border, U.S.-Mexico bilateral security cooperation rapidly deteriorating, and the Mexican government increasingly unable or unwilling to combat organized crime within its own borders, the United States is at a pivotal point in its relationship with Mexico. Transnational criminal organizations continue to flourish and corrupt political, military and law enforcement leaders throughout Mexico, while unprecedented quantities of deadly opioids flow across the border and onto the streets of the United States. This livestream will address the evolving security crisis in Mexico and the best path forward for President Biden's National Security Council and State, Justice, and Homeland Security Departments in mitigating the effects of that crisis on the United States.

Houston is famous for its lack of zoning, but a new court case challenging Houston’s Historic Preservation Ordinance (HPO) is putting that idea to the test. In the eyes of some—including the Texas Public Policy Foundation—the city is engaged in de facto zoning, which would be contrary to both its character and the law. Join our panel of experts to discuss the significance of the pending Texas Supreme Court case, how the city’s actions may have violated its own charter and case law, and where the city’s arguments fall short.
