The Houston Police Department will not participate in a controversial immigration screening program, federal officials said on Friday, ending a months-long saga over the city's plans.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had designated this week as the national deadline for agencies to sign recently revamped agreements in order to participate in the federal government's 287(g) program, which deputizes local law enforcement to act as immigration agents.

On Friday, ICE officials released a list of the 55 agencies that had signed formal agreements with ICE. A dozen agencies, including the Harris County Sheriff's Office, had reached agreements with ICE, but still were awaiting approval from their governing bodies to sign off on the partnerships.

HPD was on a short list of a half-dozen agencies that either withdrew from negotiations or did not re-sign agreements with ICE, according to ICE officials.

They wont do anything with ICE but they will do something stupid like this--

Houston vows to get tough with defiant veterinarians
Veterinarians who continue to defy a law requiring names of owners whose pets got rabies shots could be fined $500 for each day they violate the rule.

Amazing isn't it. Illegal invaders are free to do as they please, while their advocates whine and complain that illegal invaders are living in the shadows is . That's an absolute LIE and the city of Houston has just co confirmed that!

Meanwhile, the city of Houston is cracking down on veterinarians! These politicians are CORRUPTED to the core!
The leadership in that city has been bought and paid for by the illegal invader factions that are destroying this country

Houston is doomed. Houston police officers will die by the dozens and illegal aline criminals will over run this city. The sooner this idiot mayor is out of office the better.
