In Texas, Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity is increasing, with a focus on street arrests. According to federal data, agents are targeting individuals not in law enforcement custody.

This trend is also seen in Houston, where the number of ICE arrests outside detention facilities has risen significantly. The monthly average has more than quadrupled, with a notable increase in public spaces and homes.
