Houston Mayor John Whitmire issued an executive order directing police to contact ICE only when a person in custody is tied to a jailable offense; an administrative ICE warrant alone is no longer sufficient. The mayor said the change was intended to reduce fear and anxiety. Local reporting connected the policy shift to public scrutiny and protests over federal immigration enforcement, including the fatal shooting of Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The city’s order and reporting on community response are cited below.
