Houston Police Department leaders late Thursday released an updated order to its officers on how to interact with federal immigration agents that largely returns HPD to the rules it operated under before Houston City Council spurred a fight over the issue this month – and which legal advocates say could expose the city to legal liability.

The council voted two weeks ago to limit HPD’s cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, leading Gov. Greg Abbott to threaten to pull $114 million in grant funding to the city.

Mayor John Whitmire then negotiated amendments to the policy with Abbott’s office and secured council approval of those changes on Wednesday.
