Good Morning! On this day in 1836, General Sam Houston led the Texian army to Lynch’s Ferry, allowing them to choose the ground for the upcoming Battle of San Jacinto, which would eventually secure Texas independence.

Today, Christians across the world celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, the cornerstone of Christian faith. Christians believe Christ’s triumph over death offers hope, renewal, and eternal life. Many Christians in America will celebrate by going to church, followed by Easter Brunch. If you celebrate Easter, what makes the day special for you and your family? Hit reply and tell us your story—we would love to hear it.

Soon, you’ll be able to visit a 3D-printed Starbucks in Brownsville. Read all about it in today’s Roundup.

Supreme Court Halts Deportations

The Supreme Court ruled early Saturday morning that, at least temporarily, alleged Venezuelan gang members held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Anson could not be deported.

The ruling follows a previous order that allowed the Trump administration to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th-century wartime law, so long as they were given due process.

Saturday’s order came after the American Civil Liberties Union filed an emergency lawsuit, stating that the Trump administration wasn’t complying with the initial order.

The Supreme Court urged the federal government to file a response “as soon as possible.” Justices Alito and Thomas dissented from the majority. You can read the court order here.

3D-Printed Starbucks Set to Open

The world’s first 3D-printed Starbucks is set to open in less than two weeks in Brownsville.

The 1,400-square-foot building began construction in December. It will not feature any seating, offering only walk-up and drive-thru service. COBOD International, a Denmark-based firm that seeks to automate at least 50% of construction projects, provided the 3D-printing technology.

The building’s shell is made of concrete, which was poured in layers by robotic arms and printed in just six days.

Motorcycle Pile-Up Injures 17

At least 17 people were injured in a chain-reaction crash involving 15 motorcycles in the southbound lanes of I-35W in Fort Worth Friday night.

The crash reportedly took place when the lead motorcycle’s front tire blew out, causing 14 other motorcycles to crash and resulting in multiple fires.

Officials called the crash a “mass casualty event,” with four people in critical condition, six in serious condition, and seven sustaining minor injuries.
