Texas Senate passes bills denying bail to undocumented immigrants and those accused of violent crimes.
The Texas Senate has passed several bills aimed at changing bail laws, including ones that would deny bail to undocumented immigrants charged with felonies and those accused of violent crimes, such as unlawful firearm possession or murder related to fentanyl production.
These measures, part of what's called "Jocelyn's Law," are intended to keep certain defendants in jail while awaiting trial.
Supporters argue this will enhance public safety, while critics say it could overcrowd jails and infringe on due process rights.
The legislation must pass the House and be approved by voters.
