Texas AG Paxton's Attempt to Override Dallas Gun Ban Rejected by Judge

This ruling is part of a broader legal battle involving three cases where Paxton challenges Dallas' gun restrictions. The judge's decision allows the city to seek a summary judgment in its favor, potentially solidifying its ability to regulate firearms at public venues.

Houston City Council Amends ICE Cooperation Policy Amid Funding Threat from Gov. Abbott

Houston City Council Amends ICE Cooperation Policy Amid Funding Threat from Gov. Abbott

The Houston City Council has voted 13-4 to amend an ordinance that limits cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. This decision comes in response to a significant funding threat from Governor Greg Abbott, who has warned that the city could lose $110 million in public safety grants if it does not comply with state directives. The amendment removes a rule requiring police to wait 30 minutes for ICE agents to arrive during encounters with individuals with administrative immigration warrants. The revised ordinance mandates quarterly reports on police coordination with ICE. Civil rights groups have criticized the changes, viewing them as a rollback of protections against unwarranted detentions.
