The Houston Police Department has approved a revised immigration enforcement ordinance, giving officers more discretion when they stop someone with a civil immigration warrant. This change comes from the previous ordinance which stated that officers were not required to wait for federal agents. The new policy applies only to civil immigration warrants, not criminal warrants. The funding, which is used for Houston police overtime and programs targeting human trafficking and DWI enforcement, was previously frozen by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. However, questions remain about what the changes mean in practice, especially for undocumented individuals. If someone is pulled over and only has an ICE administrative warrant, officers will contact federal authorities if they want to take custody.
