Context
In Texas, Houston's mayor said the city's police department cannot investigate a shooting involving ICE, while legal experts disagreed. The dispute involves federal agents, local police, Houston residents, and the public's ability to assess an official use-of-force account.
Keeping the inquiry within federal channels could preserve jurisdictional control, while a local probe could add independent scrutiny. Congressional Democrats are calling for an investigation.
