Houston will consider walking back a new ordinance limiting cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents, as the city faces an investigation and threats of funding cuts from Republican state leaders.
The city council initially expected to consider the change Friday, but Mayor John Whitmire subsequently announced that the meeting will now be on April 22. Whitmire said the deadline to respond to the state’s demand was postponed, and this change will give his office more time to discuss the issue with both state and community leaders.
