Houston pulls out of federal grant tied to immigration enforcement
Original: Houston ends pursuit of grant requiring extensive federal immigration-law compliance
Houston has withdrawn its pursuit of a federal grant that would have required the city to comply extensively with federal immigration law. The decision means the city will forgo the funding rather than accept the immigration-related conditions attached to it. The move is likely to fuel ongoing debate over how far US cities will go in cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, and it highlights the tension between local priorities and conditions Washington attaches to federal money.
Why now: Cities across the US are weighing whether federal funding is worth accepting immigration-enforcement conditions.
