Houston Mayor John Whitmire, a Democrat, signed an executive order this week directing the Houston Police Department to notify ICE only when a person with an administrative immigration warrant is arrested for a jailable offense. Under the new policy, officers will no longer contact federal authorities solely because an administrative warrant appears during an encounter that results only in a warning or citation.

"I do this to begin a healing process, reduce fear and anxiety across our community," Whitmire said on Friday during a news conference. "I also do this knowing that elections matter."

Whitmire added that he views the executive order as "the right thing to do at the right time" and expressed hope that Houston's actions could serve as a template for municipal governments across the state.

In Austin, Mayor Kirk Watson, a Democrat, announced Friday that he directed Police Chief Lisa Davis to draft revisions to the Austin Police Department’s general orders regarding federal immigration authorities.

I was led to believe by Aggies and MSM that Texans would never support an open border and no enforcement. It turns out Texans love it lol God bless Texas!

Isn’t that great, Texas contrarian RINO’s? You get to have open borders again! You sure did teach Donald Trump a lesson! And we’re so much better now aren’t we comrades?!

New Oklahoma Governor Mike Mazzei needs to build a wall along the Red River. Keep both the illegals and the Texicans out.

The county i live in, Bryan County, once had a border dispute with Texas over a bridge. The Red River Bridge War of 1931. Texas folded like they always do.

Considering the damage the democrats will do this nation, a nuclear Iran is actually the lesser of the two evils.

That said, I do think this was coming regardless. Iran just allowed it happen more quickly.

Just wait and see how bad this gets. At least Abbott put up a little fight during the Biden years.

Now The flood gates are about to open way worse than before.

I have to laugh to keep from crying. Because this changes everything.

Who was that guy that was like 85% confident Texas would secede from the USA and form its own country?

Wonder what he thinks now.

Neither Houston nor Austin are located along the border.

ICE raids are clearly what the people voted against.

Just admit that you don’t know the difference between Border Security and ICE raids.

Time to rip off the band aid once and for all with sanctuary nonsense, its not sanctuary, its harboring a felon.

quote:

Yes, it is against federal law under 8 U.S.C. § 1324 to knowingly conceal, harbor, or shield an undocumented immigrant from detection by immigration authorities


Cut all federal money, medicaid, housing, food stamps, everything, until they comply.

They sue and it goes to supreme court. Just change the order and say any illegals over 30. It goes to the supreme and lose, just change to any females. It goes to supreme court and lose, any males under 30.....over and over all the while continuing to withhold funding. Eventually they will get the message.

Sick and tired of states demanding they get their funding, while picking and choosing the laws they will comply with.

Texas is lost, which means the country is lost.

And for some who will say, they are not obstructing, they are just not assisting ICE.

Read the law again, by knowingly harboring they are breaking the law, they have been informed by ICE, they knowingly are not informing and therefore harboring.

Todd Benson is following this. The newly elected AG and governor are reaching out to mayors saying they are not to enforce ICE cooperation.

She is already signaling pulling all recourses from the border and designating Texas a sanctuary state.

The border will be wide open and it's the easiest to cross in Texas.

It will be blue forever.

The pendulum doesn't "swing back" when demographic replacement happens.

Letting invaders and their children vote you out of existence was a poor idea.

Let me get this straight....if a person slips past law enforcement at the border, the proper response is: Congratulations! As long as we don't encounter you within an unrelated criminal investigation, you are in good shape.

One of the first things she said last Wed was that the state of TX would no longer cooperate with ICE. I assume some individual cities may buck that but she will likely find a way to force their hand. Glad everyone was so pissed about Paxton running that they elected a globalist to run the state of TX.
