Stories we're following this morning at Progress Texas:
ICE is making its presence known in cities across Texas - in El Paso, officials at Camp East Montana have begun sending the bodies of detained immigrants who have died on their watch to an internal military hospital - not the local county medical examiner, where one recent such death was deemed a homicide: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/02/03/texas-ice-detention-deaths-autopsy-el-paso/
...In Houston, the local ICE field office has issued a statement claiming a "1,300 percent increase" in protestor violence against its agents, implying that they plan to escalate the violence of their responses: https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/02/03/law-and-order-will-prevail-houston-ice-condemns-student-led-walkouts-at-schools-across-texas/
...In San Antonio, the local ICE field office will not reveal whether or not they plan to harass attendees of the upcoming San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and Fiesta events, leading to calls for a local boycott of both: https://www.sacurrent.com/news/ice-wont-say-whether-its-targeting-san-antonio-rodeo-fiesta-for-enforcement-actions/
...In Dallas, where controversy has developed over local restaurants and coffee shops welcoming ICE agents to patronize, advice from a local food writer that they adopt instead a "no assholes" policy: https://www.dmagazine.com/food-drink/2026/02/how-ice-enforcement-affects-restaurant-industry/
