A group of federal and state lawmakers is calling on six Bexar County communities to reconsider their agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing that local police should not take on a greater role in federal immigration enforcement.

Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar, along with state lawmakers including Barbara Gervin-Hawkins, made the case Wednesday during a press conference.

The lawmakers are asking China Grove, Balcones Heights, Hollywood Park, St. Hedwig, Von Ormy and Sandy Oaks to end their participation in the federal government's 287(g) program.
