Texas Attorney General John Whitmire has issued an order directing local law enforcement agencies in the state to halt cooperation with federal immigration enforcement actions, including those related to President Trump’s immigration policies. The directive explicitly prohibits state and local police from detaining individuals solely based on immigration status or assisting federal agents in immigration-related arrests. Whitmire’s move comes amid ongoing legal and political disputes over immigration enforcement, raising questions about the balance between state and federal authority. Critics argue the order undermines federal immigration priorities, while supporters say it protects communities from overreach.
