Families of the victims of the July 4, 2025, catastrophic flash flood at Camp Mystic and other locations in Kerr County watch as Gov. Greg Abbott prepares to sign summer camp safety laws that proponents say would have prevented many of the deaths in the camps and campgrounds that line the Guadalupe River, in Austin, Texas, Sept. 5, 2025. Abbott formally declared on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, that one of the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy and civil rights groups is a foreign terrorist organization, saying the move will prohibit the organization from acquiring land in Texas and authorize the state attorney general “to sue to shut them down” in Texas.
