Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Bexar County commissioners approved a resolution opposing the presence of an East Side ICE detention and processing facility.

Members of Congress intervened in a bipartisan effort to secure the release of three brothers from McAllen who were detained with their parents after a routine immigration check-in.

The county joins some San Antonio city councilmembers who have spoken out against the facility.

In an 8-2 vote, the San Antonio City Council directed city staff to examine zoning changes and a possible moratorium on private detention facilities following plans for an ICE processing center on the city’s East Side.

The Department of Homeland Security said the 23-year-old was shot after intentionally hitting an agent with his vehicle on South Padre Island.

A federal judge in Fort Worth swore in a jury Monday for the trial of nine defendants accused in the nonfatal shooting of a police officer outside an ICE detention center July 4.

On an unseasonably warm February federal holiday, about 300 protesters flooded the streets of downtown San Antonio in opposition to recent actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis and across the country.

The federal government planned to hold 9,500 people in Hutchins, as part of its plan to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses around the country.

The city council voted 9-2 on a resolution calling for "strategies to protect all San Antonians" instructing staff to find ways of supporting people who are impacted by immigration enforcement.

On the eve of the meeting where the city council will debate a resolution to ‘protect all San Antonians’ regarding immigration operations and a proposed detention center, three council members observed San Antonio’s immigration court proceedings where people have been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement immediately after appearing for pre-scheduled hearings.
