KXAN report prompts donation of trailer to horse ranch after theft
MANOR, Texas (KXAN) — The Healing with Horses Ranch in Manor is set to receive a new trailer after its original one was stolen a few weeks ago.
The theft occurred between March 18 and 19, leaving the ranch without a crucial part of its counseling program, according to the organization. Volunteers had spent months refurbishing the trailer to serve as an extension of the counseling center.

Activist arrested at Monday night protest says she's ready for Saturday event
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Alexandra Haddix left jail Tuesday after Austin Police arrested her during an anti-ICE protest Monday night. 'I was tear-gassed while being pulled out of a car,' Haddix said. Despite her time in custody, she's fired up to continue protesting. She's ready for another protest on Saturday that she helped organize. It's part of a national day of protests called, 'No Kings Day,' with large crowds expected to turn out in protest of the Trump administration. 'No Kings' protest organizer calls Texas National Guard deployment an overreaction by Governor 'I just think that it's going to be so funny seeing the dichotomy between our jubilee protests and the National Guard holding their massive guns,' Haddix said. Haddix is a part of the group called the 50501 Movement. She said members of the group go through protest training and have planned seminars to educate people on protest safety. According to Haddix, there will be a seminar before Saturday's protest. 'We are going to have another seminar for crowd control for the organizers and people in charge,' Haddix said. 'We also will have a de-escalation seminar.' Haddix criticized the way police handled the Monday protest, which was organized by another group. However, she said her organization will encourage peaceful protest. 'Do I understand why we have police? Yes. Do I feel like they maybe are overstepping? Absolutely,' Haddix said. 'The safety of the people at our protest is our number one concern, and if that requires me to work a little bit with the police, then that is what I'm going to do.'
