ICE orders officers to stop vehicle pursuits nationwide amid Houston and Maine shootings
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reportedly issued a nationwide directive ordering officers to stop pursuing people in vehicles following two fatal ICE shootings in the past nine days.

Harris County Commissioner @adriangarciahtx.bsky.social writes in the Houston Chronicle that DHS has no excuse for not providing body camera footage of the fatal ICE shooting:
As a former Harris County sheriff and someone who has been a cop for most of my adult life, I know what responsible policing requires and what it takes to protect the public trust. Too much about ICE’s account of Salgado's does not add up, and the lack of detail creates questions and strong frustration. Until we have a full and transparent accounting of what happened, Houston’s sense of safety will be harmed. The federal unwillingness to welcome an independent investigation raises serious doubts and encourages conspiracy theories. That should concern us all, regardless of political party.

But still, politics appears to be playing a role. The Department of Homeland Security issued comments that “back-to-back Democrat shutdowns” are to blame for the lack of bodycams and are the reason the public can’t see what happened. 

That is no excuse. In April, Congress gave Homeland Security $20 million for “the procurement, deployment, and operations of body-worn cameras” for immigration officers, but according to Rep. Sylvia Garcia, the acting head of ICE says that fewer than a third of officers currently wear them.  Failure to buy this equipment puts agents who want to do their job right in a losing situation.

Check out how Harris County Democrats have been working for you this week! @adriangarciahtx.bsky.social @genefortexas.bsky.social @rodneyellis.bsky.social
Commissioner Rodney Ellis (Precinct 4) and Texas House Reps. Gene Wu (137) and Lauren Ashley Simmons (146) celebrated the launch of Harris County’s first-ever  AAPI commission.

HCDP staff and volunteers helped organize and distribute food for families in need at Bethel’s Heavenly Hands as part of our monthly Day of Action, an organization that serves 5000 families each month.

SB 434, authored by Senator Borris Miles (13) has passed out of the House. This bill would allow the Harris County Hospital District to hire peace officers to protect hospital employees, patients, and their families from workplace violence. 

Commissioner Adrian Garcia (Precinct 2) has initiated over 75 infrastructure projects totaling an investment of more than $133 million in Harris County. These projects focus on improving sidewalks, roads, drainage systems, and hike-and-bike trails. 

Rep. Ana Hernandez (143) passed HB1562 and HB1732 out of the House,  which will help make massage establishments safer for everyone in Texas, adding safeguards to combat human trafficking and sexual assault occurring at massage establishments.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Commissioner Adrian Garcia (Precinct 2) jointly requested approval of a resolution designating May 8, 2025 as Deputy Sheila Jones Day in Harris County.

Commissioner Lesley Briones (Precinct 4) led an initiative approved by the Commissioners Court to invest $4 million in expanding resources for survivors of domestic violence. The Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC) will receive an initial award of $1 million to lead the effort.

Judge Katherine Thomas (Criminal District Court 184) and Councilwoman Carolyn Evans-Shabazz (District D) hosted a community safety town hall.

Texas House Bill 3860 passed the House unanimously. Introduced and authored by Representative Alma Allen (D-131), the bill expands employment opportunities for incarcerated individuals, allowing them to obtain certain occupational licenses and practice specific trades while still in prison. 

Congressman Al Green (D-9) announced that his Articles of Impeachment against President Trump will be introduced in the House next week. 

Judge Pamela Medina (County Probate Court 2) hosted a forum to discuss the first Mexican-American civil rights case heard by the Supreme Court.
