Drummer detained by CBP before flight to Europe for band's tour
A drummer and green card holder for a Texas-based band was removed from a flight by federal immigration officials on Monday before the band was set to depart for a European tour.
Yamal Said, a member of the heavy Americana band Lord Buffalo, was detained at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents who said they had a warrant for his arrest after he allegedly violated a restraining order at least twice, the Department of Homeland Security said on X.
Violating a protective order two or more times can lead to it becoming a felony in Texas, based on the circumstances.
"Yamal Said is a Mexican national and lawful U.S. permanent resident," the agency wrote on X sharing a news headline about the incident.

"Said had a warrant for his arrest after violating a restraining order at least TWICE. If you come to our country and break our laws, you will be arrested. When he was attempting to leave the U.S., he was apprehended by CBP and has been turned over to local law enforcement."

The exact nature of the protective order has not been made public. Said is currently being held at the Tarrant County Corrections Center.
Said moved to the U.S. in the 1980s after a devastating earthquake hit Mexico City, Voyage Austin previously reported. He has been the band's drummer for the last eight years and teaches music for Texas School for the Blind based in Austin, the outlet reported.

Paul Carlson, assistant principal at the school, remarked that Said is "a highly respected and long-serving member of our school community," the Austin Chronicle reported.
Said's detention forced the band to announce on social media that it had canceled its tour.
"We appreciate the tremendous outpouring of support from y'all today. We still know very little about the situation, but we have been asked by our drummer's family and his legal team to respect their privacy while this situation evolves," the band wrote.
The band had been preparing for an eight-date European tour in support of their latest album, "Holus Bolus," with Norwegian band Orsak:Oslo, the Austin Chronicle reported.
"No one should be pulled off a plane and jailed for simply trying to travel and make art with their band," Orsak:Oslo wrote on social media Wednesday. "We won't pretend to understand the full complexity of the situation, but this should not happen anywhere."Original article source: Drummer detained by CBP before flight to Europe for band's tour

Families sue Millsap ISD over alleged abuse of special needs students
Three families have filed a federal lawsuit against Millsap Independent School District and several educators, alleging abuse of their children with special needs in a special education classroom. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, names the district along with four individuals, including special education teacher Jennifer Dale, paraprofessional Paxton Bean, former superintendent Edie Martin, and elementary school principal Roxie Carter. Alleged abuse caught on camera Video provided to CBS News Texas The legal action stems from a February incident captured on video, which appears to show Dale striking 10-year-old Alex Cornelius, a student with autism. In the same footage, Bean is seen throwing an object at Alex and yelling at him. "That's the only way I can think of it — traumatizing," said Alex's mother, Carissa Cornelius. "I'm having nightmares. He's having nightmares. Just because I can't trust anybody." Arrests and resignations In March, Dale was arrested on a charge of official oppression. Bean and Martin were arrested on felony charges. Carter, who is Bean's mother, is not facing criminal charges but is named in the lawsuit. According to an email sent to parents, Carter has resigned as principal effective June 30. Pattern of abuse alleged Attorney Wesley Gould, who is representing the families, said the abuse extended beyond Alex. "What makes it so unique is that it didn't stop there," Gould said. "This went all the way up the food chain — to the superintendent, to the principal. The board was aware of it, and you have these people in a position to make changes and stop the abuse, but their hearts and minds weren't there." The lawsuit alleges that other children were subjected to similar treatment, including being locked in unlit closets for extended periods, physically assaulted, and verbally abused. A long road to healing Cornelius said her son has been slowly recovering, spending time in the pool and becoming more vocal. She hopes the lawsuit will provide resources for additional support — but emphasized that the case is about more than compensation. "It's about the change in activity or the change in attitude that needs to occur," said Alex's grandfather, Mark Allen. "I hope that he can heal from all of the trauma and learn to trust people again," Cornelius added. "And I hope that those teachers are never allowed around another child. Period." Mom: "My daughter deserves better" Victoria Garcia, a parent involved in the federal lawsuit, expressed deep disappointment and heartbreak over the alleged abuse of her daughter, who has cognitive disabilities. She described verbal threats and mistreatment by educators, emphasizing the district's failure to protect vulnerable students. She also condemned the alleged cover-up by school officials and called for accountability, compassion, and systemic change. She hopes the lawsuit will serve as a stand for justice and a message to the community that such behavior will not be tolerated. "To hear what these educators and administrators did to not only abuse our children, but go to such lengths to cover it up is an abomination," Garcia said. "My daughter deserves better." Legal proceedings ongoing The cases against Martin and Bean have not yet gone before a grand jury. The Parker County District Attorney's Office says it could take months for that to happen. CBS News Texas has reached out to Millsap ISD and the defendants named in the lawsuit for comment but has not received a response.
