Abbott Threatens Houston with $110M Funding Cut
Description
Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatens to withhold $110 million in public safety funding from Houston over Prop A, a new city ordinance altering immigration holds with ICE. The ordinance, set to start in March 2026, adds supervisor checks for ICE alerts but allows officers to release individuals sooner without federal backup. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into whether Prop A violates state law. Mayor John Whitmire, who voted for the updated version, warns that cutting the funds would lead to a public safety crisis, impacting daily operations and preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
