Houston mayor signs order to limit cooperation with ICE, says 'elections matter' after Democrats win

Houston Mayor John Whitmire signed an order to limit city cooperation with ICE following the first Democratic victory for power in Texas in decades. This new model of immigration enforcement ensures that police only refer immigrants who pose a danger to federal authorities. The mayor emphasized that individuals focused on work, education, and family business will not be targeted, stating that elections matter as the city shifts its approach to federal immigration cooperation.
