Houston Democrat Mayor John Whitmire is rolling back local police cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after a blue wave swept through Texas during Tuesday’s election.
asserted
wave → roll → election
On Friday, Whitmire signed an order limiting local police officers’ ability to contact ICE that would let some illegal immigrants walk free.
asserted
immigrants → sign → ICE
“This is the right thing to do at the right time,” Whitmire said during a press conference announcing the change.
asserted
Whitmire → do → change
“No one has to worry about them doing a warrant, search, which includes ICE unless they’re being charged with a new jailable offense, including dangerous crimes, violent offenders.
asserted
they → have → crimes
It will improve our public safety, it will reduce the fear and anxiety of students, our workers, and I will take the responsibility of making this change even with the current administration still in office for two months,” he said.
asserted
he → improve → months
Under the new order, ICE will only be contacted when local officers make an arrest of an illegal immigrant for a jailable offense who also has an administrative immigration warrant, officials said.
asserted
officials → contact → warrant
If one is pulled over and given a citation, local police will let them go, Houston Police Chief J. Noe Diaz Jr. said during Friday’s announcement.
asserted
Jr. → pull → announcement
“The message is clear: ICE will only be contacted if someone commits a jailable offense,” Diaz said.
asserted
Diaz → contact → offense
“This means our officers will only contact ICE if someone they arrest also has an administrative ICE warrant.
asserted
they → mean → warrant
For example, if our police officers pull someone over for a minor traffic infraction and they write a citation, that person receives a citation and goes about their day.”
asserted
person → pull → day
“HPD will no longer contact ICE if they have an administrative warrant and they are not arrested,” the police chief said.
asserted
chief → contact → warrant
Whitmire said he hopes Houston’s new order will serve as a “model for Texas cities” and said he’s recently “been in contact with the new state leadership.”
In April, the Houston City Council passed an ordinance barring officers from detaining people on administrative immigration warrants, then revised it two weeks later after the state threatened to pull more than $110 million in public safety grants.
asserted
state → say → grants
The restrictions had allowed officers to release people with administrative immigration warrants if they had no jailable offense.
asserted
they → allow → offense
The state requires that recipients of the public safety grants work with ICE.
asserted
recipients → require → ICE
If they refuse to help federal immigration authorities, “they forfeit the money” and must “repay to the state every single dollar they have received,” Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott told The Daily Wire in a previous interview.
asserted
Abbott → refuse → interview
With the help of Abbott’s office, Whitmire revised the ordinance after voting for it.
asserted
Whitmire → revise → it
The revised ordinance said nothing in it would limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities required by state law, and HPD instructed officers to hold people for a reasonable amount of time for ICE to take custody.
asserted
ICE → revise → custody
During Friday’s press conference, Whitmire said he “had to listen” to Abbott at the time because “our finances were at stake.”
asserted
finances → say → stake
Texas Democrat Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has also criticized immigration enforcement operations.
asserted
Hinojosa → criticize → operations
“As governor, I will never offer up Texas as a staging ground for operations that terrorize families and enrich his [Abbott’s] donors,” Hinojosa said during a Jan. 31 rally.
asserted
Hinojosa → offer → rally
