Paxton Investigates Cities Over ICE Policy Changes

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating Houston and Austin for adjusting their police policies regarding cooperation with federal immigration agents. Both cities have modified their approaches to handling administrative warrants, aiming to reduce prolonged stops without criminal charges. Paxtons actions stem from claims these changes conflict with Senate Bill four, the states strict immigration enforcement law. Governor Greg Abbott has also retaliated by cutting $110 million in grants to Houston. The standoff between Texas cities and leaders on immigration priorities is likely to continue as both sides remain firm in their positions.
