John Whitmire is expected to release new language for a revised immigration ordinance Tuesday afternoon, an effort he says could help resolve a funding standoff with the state and restore more than $100 million for public safety.

Mayor John Whitmire told KPRC 2’s Re’Chelle Turner in a one-on-one interview that the lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against the city is political and that he will not pursue an expensive court fight.
