Summary
The Dallas Police Department (DPD) announced it will not participate in ICE immigration raids, instead launching outreach meetings to reassure immigrant communities.
Led by the UNIDOS Latino Community Outreach Program, the initiative aims to dispel misinformation and encourage crime reporting.
Interim Chief Michael Igo emphasized that DPD focuses on public safety, not immigration enforcement. However, individuals with outstanding warrants may still face arrest and possible deportation.
Additional meetings, including legal guidance sessions, are planned in Dallas and neighboring areas to support and inform migrant residents.
The Trump administration is so far right it’s making Texas look liberal.
They’re cops and the vast majority are probably racist magats. They just use this as an excuse so they can sit on their fat ass and not do extra work. There’s donuts to be eaten and minorities to be shot.
DPD has a loooooong, fucked up history with minorities. I’m not fan of cops, but I’ll take a W where I can get it.
Yeah… Unless things have significantly changed since I lived in Dallas 10 years ago, I’d say this is just dpd not wanting to add additional work on their plate. Getting them to respond to anything short of murder was like pulling teeth.
Fuck trump. Fucking traitor.
Yeah, I don’t know if this is out of benevolence, but I bet there’s a big dose of understanding who props up a lot of the Texas economy.
How much you want to bet that ICE tries to raid one of these meetings?
Good

Do it the American way: arm the undocumented.
Knew we had some good guys out here
And no one in there mind will show up at those out reach meetings. That is just telegraphing where to stake out for the ICE folks.
