HOUSTON – A federal judge has derailed the City of Houston’s efforts to push a civil lawsuit regarding the deadly botched raid on Harding Street in federal court.
In a memorandum entered with the court Friday morning, Judge Kenneth Hoyt writes, “the City cannot appoint itself a “federal actor” simply because federal claims “may” be raised in a future lawsuit.”
