U.S. citizens were more than twice as likely to be charged with a crime in Harris County in 2023 than adults who don’t hold U.S. citizenship, according to an exclusive data analysis by the Houston Landing. The analysis, based on the most recent data on the county’s adult population and criminal charges, shows that U.S. citizens have been more likely to be charged with a crime in Harris County since at least 2015, the earliest data collected by the Landing through public records law.

Mayor John Whitmire has made clear he intends to boost salaries and benefits for Houston police officers in their new union contract, but those increases will not be tied to performance.

On Feb. 24 Erik Payán, a tire shop owner and beloved grandfather who has been in the United States for over 20 years, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. His arrest was one of over 100 people who were detained in a joint immigration enforcement operation targeting Colony Ridge, their largely Latino community.
