Governor Greg Abbott has issued a series of threats to major Texas cities, including Houston and Dallas, regarding their immigration enforcement policies. Abbott announced potential cuts of up to $200 million in funding if these cities do not repeal or change their ordinances limiting cooperation with ICE. Notably, he warned that Houston could lose $110 million in public safety grants as the city council considers repealing a recent immigration ordinance. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also filed lawsuits against Houston for its immigration policies. As tensions rise, local leaders are under pressure to navigate citizen concerns about immigration while managing state funding threats.
