HOUSTON, Nov 7 — The mayor of Houston, Texas announced Friday that the city’s police department will limit its cooperation with federal immigration agents after Democrats swept midterm elections this week.
The so-called “blue tsunami” ousted Republican Governor Greg Abbott, a close Texas ally of US President Donald Trump, who has cracked down on immigration with raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents since returning to office last year.
Abbott had threatened in April to revoke US$110 million (RM451 million) in public safety funding from Houston if city officials didn’t walk back a similar measure earlier this year, and city officials complied.
He lost reelection on Tuesday and will be replaced by Democrat Gina Hinojosa, the first Latina woman elected governor of Texas.
