San Antonio City Council Update: Immigration and Detention Resolution
Following a session on Thursday, February 12, 2026, the San Antonio City Council passed a significant resolution in a 9-2 vote. This official action directs city staff to evaluate more than 20 potential strategies to challenge the proposed federal ICE detention facility on the city’s east side. The resolution includes a formal review of building permits, zoning changes, and development plans related to privately operated detention centers.
