Houston Mayor Announces Limits on ICE Cooperation After Texas Democrats' Win
Following Democrats' election victory in Texas, Houston Mayor John Whitmire announced plans to limit local cooperation with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The new policy will focus on immigrants deemed threats to public safety, excluding those working, studying, or living with families. Routine traffic stops and minor, non-violent offenses will no longer automatically prompt ICE involvement, with citations or warnings issued instead. Details will be outlined in an upcoming executive order.
