Houston Irks Texas Gov. Greg Abbott by Reminding Cops To Comply With the Fourth Amendment
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Two weeks ago, the Houston City Council enacted an ordinance clarifying the extent to which local police may cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. When police detain a pedestrian or driver, the ordinance says, they may not prolong the stop after its purpose has been accomplished simply because a background check reveals a civil administrative warrant issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
That ordinance irked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who threatened to withhold $110 million
