## Key points

- Texas Democrats are challenging cooperation with ICE.
- Bannon wants Trump to send troops into cities.
- Miller faces a test over deportation policy.

## Summary

Texas is emerging as a major battleground over Donald Trump’s deportation policy after Democrats won state and local races and Houston’s mayor restricted police cooperation with ICE. Steve Bannon is urging Trump to send troops into Texas cities, while federal prosecutor Aaron Reitz says his office is examining the mayor’s order. The dispute is an early test for new White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, a leading architect of the immigration crackdown.

The article says ICE deported a record 483,200 people in the fiscal year ending 30 September, and cites midterm exit polls as showing broad opposition to its actions. Miller has argued that the president can federalise a state’s National Guard when federal resources are insufficient; the Supreme Court blocked a troop deployment to Chicago in December, and Trump later withdrew forces from several cities. Texas National Guard members are due to answer to Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa from January.
