Police in Dallas, Texas, will not join Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) deportation raids or arrests that have been targeting illegal immigrants across the nation in the midst of a resurgent Trump presidency.

Dallas Police Department (DPD) Interim Chief Michael Igo on Wednesday told a gathering of Spanish speakers at Familia Bethel Internacional church, “The Dallas Police Department is not assisting any federal agency on detaining people that are either documented or undocumented in the city of Dallas,” Fox News reported on Thursday.

His comments came amid several meetings planned to inform the community’s immigrants about the situation. Igo also told the group officers would not turn in or report illegals who call 911 for help or those police pull over regarding traffic violations. He then encouraged them to call the department when they needed help and continue living their daily lives.

I doubt this is the sentiment of the whole Dallas Police dept. Must be from the unions or top brass.

Cartel owned....................

[rktman]

Management(?) Won’t let them assist more likely. Gov Greg, what’s your idea?

Dallas police still has something of a November 1963 mindset

[cgbg]

Yup—the Dallas cops were a subsidiary of the Marcello crime family in 1963.

Today it is probably the cartels.

When I was little, we always said Fort Worth was for cowboys and Dallas was for gay boys.

[SaveFerris]

I was thinking the same thing

[Rowdyone]

Swell. But if you’re not going to help then get out of the way. And no tip offs or you’re going to jail.

I heard McDonalds Corporation will not be helping ICE round up and deport invading terrorists and criminals either [/sarc]

[Col Frank Slade]

Another Bondi lawsuit coming.

[ComputerGuy]

So Mexico owns Dallas, huh?

[Joe 6-pack]

Nice police department ya’ got there. Be a shame if anything happened to their federal funding.

[fwdude]

Yep. Fort Worther here. The "gay community" has always bemoaned the fact that there is no well-established "gayborhoods" in Fort Worth like there are in Dallas. Very few queer bars and spaces.

Of course, you can find the closest thing to a homo-area in every large city by looking at neighborhoods around hospitals. They always seem to need to be near hospitals for some reason.

[P-Marlowe]

Time to cut off some funding. And maybe arrest the chief.

[chopperk]

Ok,,,I refuse to donate to their charities and retirement funds.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

“”several meetings planned to inform the community’s immigrants””

Meetings planned to warn illegal trespassers. Perhaps ICE can be right outside those “meetings.”

[Agatsu77]

They are getting his cell ready.

[TiGuy22]

I think they can refuse, they just can’t obstruct.

"Dallas police still has something of a November 1963 mindset."

In light of President Trump's EO requiring release of all the remaining JFK assassination files, the Dallas Police Dept. is too busy burning all of their secret JFK-related records.

I am in Dallas. I hope all the people who have been hit by illegals in cars with no license or insurance let him know he is responssible for their medical bills etc. My neighbor 2.5 years later is still suffering. Her med bills are astronomical as is their auto insurance.
