Houston puts $150 million DOJ immigration grant application on hold
Original: Houston ‘not taking any action’ on $150 million DOJ grant application tied to ‘immigration law enforcement’
Houston officials say the city is not taking any action on a $150 million grant application to the Department of Justice tied to immigration law enforcement. The decision leaves the federal funding in limbo, and it highlights the city's reluctance to participate in immigration enforcement efforts, a contentious issue between local governments and the federal administration.
Why now: The city's refusal to move on a large federal grant tied to immigration enforcement touches the ongoing conflict between sanctuary-leaning cities and the federal government.
