(CNN) — Camp Mystic – the Texas Christian girls camp where 27 campers and counselors died in torrential flooding last year – has withdrawn its application to reopen this summer.

The withdrawal follows mounting pressure from state leaders and victims’ families to keep the camp shuttered. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had urged regulators to deny the camp’s application until all investigations and corrective actions were complete, saying Texans “deserve transparency and clear answers before DSHS issues a seal of approval.”

“No administrative process or summer season should move forward while families continue to grieve, while investigations continue and while so many Texans still carry the pain of last July’s tragedy,” Camp Mystic said in a statement on Thursday.

Multiple criminal and civil inquiries into the deadly July 4, 2025, floods at Camp Mystic remain ongoing, including a wrongful death lawsuit. Court filings show camp owners had been exploring reopening options despite those investigations, a move that drew criticism from families who have called on regulators to block any return to operations.

Earlier this month, a Texas judge ruled the owners must continue to keep many damaged buildings untouched while the wrongful death lawsuit moves forward.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Atlanta (CNN) — In the office of civil rights icon Andrew Young there is a striking photo that took on new meaning this week.

It shows the man Young called his best friend — the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. — watching television as President Lyndon Johnson delivers a speech urging Congress to pass voting rights legislation. It was March 15, 1965, a week after demonstrators marching for equal access to the ballot were beaten and tear-gassed by state troopers in Selma, Alabama. Millions of Americans watched Johnson end his speech with an allusion to the civil rights movement’s anthem, declaring, “And we shall overcome.”

Young was in the room with King that day. After Johnson’s speech ended, he glanced over at his friend and saw something he’d never seen before: King shedding tears of joy.

Six months later, the Voting Rights Act passed with overwhelming bipartisan support from lawmakers and the American public. The law would protect the rights of minority voters, as well as the elderly and poor, and became known as the “crown jewel” of the civil rights movement. Many believe the US did not become a true democracy until it was passed.

But that photo of King may now represent something else — a relic from a bygone era. That’s because the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in rejecting a contested congressional map in Louisiana, further weakened what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. The Rev. Al Sharpton said the decision put a “bullet in the heart of the voting rights movement.”

For Young, though, the court’s decision isn’t just political – it’s also personal. He marched alongside King for voting rights and helped draft the landmark law. Now 94, he has lived long enough to see its possible demise.

It’s a lot to process for Young, the former Atlanta mayor and US Ambassador to the United Nations. He spoke to CNN the day before the Supreme Court’s decision and became angry when asked about its potential implications.

“The Supreme Court will go to hell if they try to reverse it,” he said.

Young said he believes the Voting Rights Act created a better America. He cited NASA’s recent Artemis II mission, which featured four astronauts — a woman, a Black man and two White men on the first human flight to the moon in more than 50 years — as a snapshot of the inclusive country the law helped create.

“I don’t know why the Supreme Court … thinks that by backtracking on 250 years of constitutional government that’s going to do any better for the citizens of this nation,” he told CNN.

“We have come so close to making this Earth look like the kingdom of God.”

Young has a blunt response to critics of the Voting Rights Act

For many observers, the court’s decision was not a surprise. The Voting Rights Act has been under legal and political attack for years – especially under the recent conservative Supreme Court led by Chief Justice John Roberts.
