"Ayer estaban like three people de ICE enftrene del high school y estuvieron ahí como por dos horas. Yo vine al negocio, y yo vi unas personas que venían aquí," the person said.
Whitmire said the Houston Police Department is focused on enforcing state laws. He also said “politicizing” federal deportation efforts “is the worst thing you can do.”
