Houston mayor: City can’t investigate fatal ICE shooting


Houston’s mayor says the city wants to investigate the fatal ICE shooting—but says it isn’t even allowed to. Whitmire repeatedly stressed that Houston police were not involved in the operation and said the city is being shut out of the investigative process, even as the victim’s family and community demand answers. He called on federal officials to show compassion—and to provide the transparency and accountability local leaders say they currently do not have.
