Police officers in Houston and Dallas were forbidden from detaining people or prolonging traffic stops due to civil immigration warrants.

Abbott threatened to revoke public safety grants unless the policies changed.

Houston had more than $110 million on the line, while Dallas faced the loss of more than $30 million, on top of public safety funding for the FIFA World Cup in nearby Arlington.

After the threat, both cities gave officers more discretion to hold people for immigration warrants.

Civil rights advocates criticized the changes, while Abbott says he expects other cities to follow suit.

18-year-old Chloe Childress was one of two counselors, along with 25 young girls, swept away from Camp Mystic, the century-old Christian summer camp along the Guadalupe River.

Her father, Matthew Childress, says the family is creating new holiday traditions this year, leaving town instead of staying in with family.

The ongoing state investigation of the floods and lawsuits against Camp Mystic make the grief hard to forget.
