Houston limits police cooperation with ICE
Houston Mayor John Whitmire instructed city police to limit contact and cooperation with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reversing the city's previous approach. The order follows months of public anger after an ICE officer fatally shot a man who was driving to work, according to matching RSS reports from Al Jazeera and the BBC.
Why it matters
The change marks a significant local challenge to federal immigration enforcement in a major Texas city.
