As early voting begins, Dallas Democrats will have the chance to choose between two familiar faces to represent them in Texas' Congressional District 33 — U.S. House Rep. Julie Johnson and former Rep. Colin Allred.

A judge is set to rule this week whether Southern Methodist University graduate Omar Salazar, who was taken into immigration custody last September, will be allowed to stay in the country.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson is calling for detainees in a West Texas immigration detention facility to have more access to their attorneys and be granted due process.

Julie Johnson, a North Texas Democrat in Congress, sent a letter to Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux demanding answers about whether the department works with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She joined KERA News to talk about that and congressional redistricting.
