Houston, Texas -- Months ago, Houston Mayor Bill White and Police Chief Harold Hurtt successfully fought efforts to place on the November ballot a proposal that could have required police to question citizenship of minor offenders.
On Monday, proponents of that effort point to the arrest of a Mexican national in the slaying last week of Houston police officer Rodney Johnson as reason to change police department rules, saying the incident underscores the need for police to crack down on illegal immigrants.
