Houston Police to Stop Alerting ICE During Traffic Stops
Houston Mayor John Whitmire says he is directing city police to stop alerting Immigration and Customs Enforcement during traffic stops and other low-level encounters, alerting the agency only after an arrest brings someone to the county jail. He calls the shift a direct result of Tuesday's election, in which Greg Abbott lost his re-election bid to Gina Hinojosa, and Democrats won every major statewide office in Texas.
