Full Interview: ICE agents "beat up" man outside of Costco in Central Texas - CBS Austin
HAYS COUNTY, Texas — Federal immigration enforcement operations were underway in Kyle and Buda on Thursday, with local officials confirming the activity but emphasizing they were not involved. One person was injured during detainment.
