Patrick Accuses Houston of Becoming a 'Sanctuary City'; Whitmire Pushes Back

Outgoing Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and Houston Mayor John Whitmire are clashing over immigration enforcement, with Patrick accusing Whitmire of turning Houston into a "sanctuary city." Whitmire rejects that label. His executive order, signed last Friday, directs the Houston Police Department to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement only when someone commits a "jailable offense." The mayor defended Houston as a welcoming city of immigrants and said police would protect the public when someone commits a crime, regardless of immigration status. Whitmire said protecting city finances also shaped his approach. He said Abbott threatened the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars over compliance with Senate Bill 4. With Democrats taking office after their midterm victories, Whitmire anticipates better relationships with state leaders he knew as Texas Senate colleagues. Patrick warned Texas could become a "sanctuary state." Patrick acknowledged Democrats won the midterms fairly, but rejected the idea Texas had permanently turned blue. He described the state as purple and cited stronger Democratic voter turnout.

Grand jury considering deadly Houston ICE shooting to work into 2027, Harris County District Attorney says

A grand jury considering the deadly ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo will work into the new year, Harris County officials said on Thursday night. Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare shared an update on the case's timeline, explaining that the grand jury will work into 2027. Salgado Araujo was driving a white van when he was fatally shot on July 7 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after Homeland Security claimed he "weaponized" his van during an enforcement action. Authorities have said he was not the target of the operation that was being carried out. Three other people in the van with Salgado Araujo were detained by ICE, and two of the three have been released. In September, the grand jury began hearing testimony from several witnesses, including a man who was in the van with Salgado Araujo when the shooting happened. PREVIOUS REPORT: Grand jury proceedings have begun in Houston ICE shooting case, law enforcement sources confirm The grand jury will decide whether to file charges against the ICE agents in the case. Teare told ABC13 that the grand jury requested more time in the process.
