Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed suit against Houston on April 16, 2026, seeking to overturn a city ordinance that bars police from detaining people solely on ICE administrative warrants, arguing it violates SB4. Governor Greg Abbott has frozen roughly $115 million in public safety grants to Houston and threatened nearly $200 million across multiple Texas cities, setting up a major legal and fiscal confrontation over whether local governments can limit their role in federal immigration enforcement.
