Protect Houston

"The authorization of local law enforcement to enforce immigration law takes away from the ability of those local authorities to apprehend real criminals and destroys trust between local police and immigrant communities."
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

A message from CM Carol Alvarado:
Anti-Immigration Municipal Efforts - Be Vigilant

Martin Luther King Day March

Supporters Mean spirited Houstonians are gathering signatures on a petition that would force the City of Houston to call a city charter referendum that would compel police officers to demand proof of citizenship when interacting with Houstonians. If adopted by the voters, the city charter change would create a hostile relationship between the police and certain communities and limit their effectiveness in protecting Houstonians from crime.
In order to protect all Houstonians, it is imperative that the Houston Police Department maintain a respectful, professional and trusting relationship with the residents of all of the city's many neighborhoods and among all of the city's diverse ethnic communities.
This ill-advised city charter referendum threatens to divide the people of our diverse and welcoming community; tie the hands of the professional men and women who serve in our police department; and stigmatize the City of Houston in the eyes of the nation and the world. Action on our part is required. Protect Houston is a campaign working to defeat this mean spirited assault on our community.
