Houston Mayor John Whitmire limits police cooperation with ICE

John Whitmire Houston Police Department ICE immigration enforcement Texas politics

Houston Mayor John Whitmire has signed an executive order to restrict the Houston Police Department’s (HPD) cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The new policy dictates that officers will no longer contact federal immigration authorities during routine traffic stops or for nonviolent, non-jailable offenses.

Under the directive, HPD will only notify ICE if an individual is arrested for a charge that carries potential jail time and possesses an administrative ICE warrant. The mayor stated the move aims to reduce fear and anxiety within immigrant communities, focusing law enforcement resources on individuals who pose a genuine danger to public safety rather than those engaged in work or education.

The policy shift follows a significant political transition in Texas, where Democrats recently won several statewide offices, including the governorship. This decision reverses a previous stance taken under Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who had previously threatened to withhold $110 million in state public safety grants if the city limited its cooperation with federal authorities. Houston Police Chief J. Noe Diaz confirmed that the department has already begun implementing the new instructions.
