Summary
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has given the City of Houston an ultimatum to repeal a “sanctuary”-type ordinance limiting cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or face a $110 million repayment to the state. Abbott asserts that Houston is in breach of contract after signing a public safety agreement requiring cooperation with immigration enforcement. The city council has called a special session to reexamine the policy, with Mayor John Whitmire calling the situation a “crisis” affecting public safety services and preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
