Gov. Greg Abbott announced Sunday night that the Texas Department of Public Safety is preparing to assist ICE agents with their operations

The state has vowed to assist the president in his efforts to revamp immigration. But Texas' biggest cities and school districts are more reluctant to help.

The actions come as President Donald Trump and his administration have begun cracking down on illegal immigration and laying the groundwork for rapid deportations.

As part of a nationwide crackdown against immigrants who may be in the U.S. without legal status, agents took to several Texas cities Sunday.

Two on Texas' Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List were arrested in Houston and Mesquite for charges including indecency with a child and sexual assault.

The Republican governor on Wednesday ordered Texas agencies to help with arrests, share intelligence and help find new detainment facilities.

A recent move by Trump allows immigration authorities to conduct raids at schools. Multiple school districts have pledged to complicate the efforts.

The Trump administration launched an immigration enforcement blitz nationwide Sunday that included multiple federal agencies and resulted in the arrest of nearly 1,000 people, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are carrying out operations across the state, and that does include in Houston, and also in Galveston.

Law enforcement officials in McLennan and Bell counties confirmed to 6 News that they have not been contacted about ICE raids as of Jan. 28.
