Houston Mayor John Whitmire has confirmed a policy reversal, directing local police to cease notifying ICE during nonviolent stops, directly contradicting a Texas state order. This action, framed as a post-election 'healing process' and aimed at reducing immigrant fears, signals a significant shift in local immigration enforcement priorities and is expected to escalate state-local tensions. The immediate operational impact and the full scope of implementation remain unclear.
