> Houston Mayor John Whitmire said police should contact ICE only when someone is arrested on a jailable charge or ICE issues an administrative warrant. He said the city would focus on immigrants who pose a danger, not people involved in nonviolent, non-jailable offenses. The announcement followed Democrats’ victory in the Texas governor’s race.
