SAN ANTONIO (February 11, 2026) – Today, Mayor Jones sent a letter to United States Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, and Representatives Joaquin Castro, Henry Cuellar, Greg Casar, Tony Gonzales and Chip Roy, requesting that they vote against any funding bill that would allocate resources for the proposed facility reportedly acquired by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in San Antonio.
“Placing an ICE facility on our Eastside, an already economically depressed part of our community, would further negatively affect the local economy and hamper its ability to attract the type of good-paying jobs our constituents need and deserve,” wrote Mayor Jones. “I welcome a conversation to discuss more strategic ways to enhance the economic development of our city.”
