President Donald Trump has made immigration enforcement a top priority for his administration and has supported Abbott’s immigration efforts. Texas repeatedly sued the Biden administration, targeting many of its immigration policies, some of which provided migrants legal pathways to legally enter and stay in the U.S.

The Portland Police Bureau won’t help federal immigration enforcement efforts in the city, Chief Bob Day said in a statement Tuesday that reiterated existing policy against cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The new Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, announced that she was on hand in the city to witness the arrest of an unauthorized immigrant connected to criminal activity.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered DPS tactical strike teams to assist the Trump administration's efforts to go after illegal immigrants inside the state, as Austin law enforcement officials vow to not comply.
