AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) -- Wilson Capital’s plans for Wilson Tower are moving along, but now call for a significant reduction in height.The downtown apartment tower’s original plans would have made it the tallest building in all of Texas at 1,035 feet tall, but new plans call for a trimming of floors: from 80 to 45, Wilson Capital President Taylor Wilson said. The developer — which is bringing online thousands new apartments across the metro — returned to the drawing board for its most ambitious project in the area after the city of Austin’s Design Commission did not approve of the high-rise’s original design during a January review.

St. Louis protest targets use of ankle monitors, passport confiscation for asylum seekers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:16:03 GMT

When Guatemalan-native Adelaida crossed the Mexican-American border at McAllen, Texas, to seek asylum, immigration officials told her very little before they attached a GPS monitor to her ankle.“I was scared because never in my life had I seen an ankle monitor,” said Adelaida, who asked that her last name be withheld out of fear of retribution for speaking out. “They told me that when I arrived at the immigration office in St. Louis they would take it off. But that’s not what happened.” She wore the monitor for a year and two months before her attorney made the case for its removal.The monitor made it difficult for the single mother of two children to get jobs at restaurants and hotels, so she ended up turning to construction work.She was also required to turn in her passport, which meant she had no form of identification, and had to be available one full day a week for a home visit. Both made it difficult to keep a job, culminating when the ankle monitor caught on a piece...
