Houston sets limits on police contact with immigration authorities
Houston Mayor John Whitmire announced an order limiting city police cooperation with federal immigration authorities, according to KPRC and The Guardian on Nov. 6. The Guardian reported that immigrants considered a danger could still be referred to ICE, while Fox News said police would be barred from notifying ICE during nonviolent stops. Several outlets linked the change to Democratic gains in Texas, but the reports provided few details on how the order will be implemented.
