沃特维尔市议会投票支持禁止与移民执法合作的提案
Read, Watch or Listen
Waterville, Maine, city councilors on Tuesday voted to consider an ordinance that would prohibit most municipal employees, including police, from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement unless legally required, modeled on Portland’s draft and measures in Rockland and Lewiston; Police Chief Bill Bonney said he opposed the proposed restriction and council support counted five of seven members. Houston officials on Wednesday approved an amended immigration ordinance in a 13–4 council vote to clarify police interaction with ICE and to pursue restoration of more than $100 million in state public safety funding; Governor Greg Abbott said the funds remain frozen until the Houston Police Department agrees to required notification and detention terms, warning the city could face repayment obligations exceeding $110 million.
