San Antonio City Council approved a resolution Thursday directing the city to attempt to stop or prevent efforts by Homeland Security and ICE on the creation of detention centers within the city.

TPR's Joey Palacios reports.

The resolution instructs the city manager and the city attorney to take action, support, or coordinate in community efforts to prevent an ICE detention facility from being constructed in San Antonio.

Earlier this week, the city filed a lawsuit against Homeland Security demanding environmental reviews be conducted.

North Side council members Mark White, Misty Spears, and South Side Councilman Phyllis Villagrán voted against the amendment.

The full resolution passed nine to two, with Spears and White voting against.

A proposed bond package for the city of San Antonio next year could be more than $600 million, nearly half of the last bond package in 2022.

TPR's Joey Palacios reports the city is considering raising stormwater fees on SAWS bills to pay for some projects.

The bond package would fund projects like streets, sidewalks, parks, city facilities, drainage, and affordable housing.

The city's bond capacity without raising property taxes is about $442 million.

If the council decides to increase them, it would add about 84 cents to monthly bills over five years.

Whatever projects and costs the council agrees on after community input would need to be decided by February in order to be on the May 2027 ballot.
