It's been a tumultuous spring at 901 Bagby.
In case you've been out of the loop these last few weeks, a debate over how Houston police interact with federal immigration authorities set off a fight that would encompass all levels of government.
It essentially started when Houston City Council voted 12-5 to enact the ICE policy. It came to an end weeks later when city leaders reconsidered what they had done and voted 13-4 to reverse themselves.
In the time between those votes, millions of dollars in public safety grant funds suddenly came into play. Did the city have the stomach to play chicken with the governor? And how did politics play into it all?
Abby Church and Matt deGrood have put together an account of one of the most heated fights in local politics in recent history, a battle that Houston Mayor John Whitmire would call "a crisis situation."

In recent days, four digits have added up to cause a whole lot of trouble for former FBI Director James Comey.
An Instagram post of seashells forming the numbers "8647" resulted in the second indictment against Comey recent months. A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted him on charges of threatening President Donald Trump's life through the post.
You might be wondering how something like "8647" can land someone on the wrong side of the law. Jarrod Wardwell explains the controversy.
