Houston Mayor has instructed police to curtail cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stating that 'elections matter.' The policy change includes stopping alerts to ICE during traffic stops. The move comes amid a 'blue wave' in Texas, according to Fox News, and follows calls from Austin leaders for revised immigration enforcement policies before state leaders take office. The decision reflects local resistance to federal immigration enforcement in a Republican-led state.
