Houston DSA

Today, Houston passed an ordinance that limits how HPD interacts with ICE. This didn’t happen by accident & took months of organizing Houstonians throughout the city. We are committed to fighting for all our immigrant neighbors, families, & communities; this is just the beginning

@houmayor Mayor, stop the cover-up. The Ordinance ended your admins policy of Houston police officers holding immigrants for ICE after traffic stops & violating the 4th amendment & ended a year of you misleading Houstonians. Tell your City Attorney to stop undermining the full ordinance.

I’ve always been clear: Houston follows local and state law. We are not ICE, and we do not enforce federal immigration law. Today, I joined a majority of City Council to pass a sensitive ordinance on immigration procedures. Staying focused on public safety not politics.

"This morning, Donald Trump threatened that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." referring to his war in Iran. As many of us file our taxes this week, we are more aware than ever that it is our tax dollars which fund this genocidal war, and it is our responsibility to stop it in its tracks. As the U.S.-Israeli agenda of genocide and devastation marches forward, so too must working class people, to ensure their defeat. We, the working class, must organize against barbarism, for there is nothing we cannot achieve together." –Megan R. & Ashik S. DSA co-chairs

We recently filed a Prop A ordinance to keep Houston police focused on solving crime — not doing the job of ICE. Right now, officers are required to wait up to 30 minutes for ICE to arrive during routine stops. This ordinance ends that practice, reduces unnecessary detention and family separation, and brings transparency to how often HPD is interacting with ICE. Because of the City Attorney's opinion, we weren’t allowed to include one key provision. We strongly disagree and we'll continue to fight for it. Even so, we’re moving forward because Houston families cannot afford to wait. Call your Council Member and the Mayor, and urge them to support this ordinance.

i love being a Texas socialist

Sen. Schumer has failed to meet this moment and is out of touch with the American people. The Democratic Party needs leaders who fight and deliver for working people. Schumer should step down.
