Houston mayor limits ICE cooperation by police after Democratic victory

Houston's mayor announced a new policy limiting police cooperation with ICE following Democratic victories in Texas elections. This change aims to alleviate fears in the community regarding immigration enforcement. The mayor's decision comes after the ousting of Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who had previously threatened funding cuts to the city over similar measures. ICE criticized the policy, claiming it protects serious criminals. Texas has the highest number of ICE detainees in the U.S.
