John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton erupted Wednesday with the men trading personal insults; state Democratic lawmakers and community advocates held a news conference Wednesday to express strong opposition to a planned “mega” migrant detention center in Hutchins right before city leaders held a private meeting to discuss what actions the city could take; the Dallas Mavericks pulled off another huge trade this week.
