Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly failing to comply with a new state law regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement cooperation.
Dallas County ICE Agreement
What we know:
Senate Bill 8, which went into effect at the beginning of the year, requires local sheriff’s offices to cooperate with ICE operations in their counties.
More specifically, sheriffs must request partnerships with ICE, known as 287(g) agreements. The agreements allow ICE to authorize local authorities to perform certain types of immigration enforcement in local jails, including allowing officers to question inmates about their immigration status and serve administrative warrants.
What they're saying:
Paxton reportedly sent a letter to Dallas Sheriff Marian Brown demanding that she seek a formal agreement with ICE.
He said Sheriff Brown has publicly declared that "no additional efforts" would be put toward such an agreement.
"I will not allow the people of Dallas County to suffer because the Sheriff refuses to work with ICE to keep violent illegals off our streets," Paxton said in a statement. "Texas law requires that sheriffs seek a formal agreement with ICE to help stop illegal immigration. My office will ensure that the Dallas County Sheriff complies with the law and that ICE is assisted to the fullest extent possible under the law."
The other side:
The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office has not yet responded to FOX 4’s request for a comment regarding the letter.

Sheriff = DEI…again.
“Sheriff” Marion ..
“Sheriff” Marian ..
This should put a bit more daylight between Paxton and Cornyn.
Tarrant County (Sheriff Bill Waybourn) and Dallas County (Sheriff Marian Brown) are about as diametrically opposed in ideology as it is possible to get. It’s absolutely jaw dropping how neighboring Texas metropolitan counties can be so insanely different.
Waybourn is a solid conservative elected twice against vicious, lying attacks by the most ardent race industry demons. Brown is a stupid DEI hire that subscribes to the entire Leftist Democrat orthodoxy of the day.
Paxton needs to drop the hammer HARD on this lawbreaking.
Local cops under fire for cooperating with federal law enforcement, it sounds like the democrats of the past.
ANOTHER FEMALE SHERIFF SEEKING EARLY RETIREMENT===POSSIBLY WITHOUT PENSION
She's black, so the old, tired race card still has a few more plays it in. I don't think anything will happen to her, especially not in Dallas County under their pathetic "justice" system.
She replaced a hispanic lesbian "sheriff," so they're moving up the grievance pyramid of victimhood.
Love my state AG! I wish Paxton would just stay put rather than running for the Senate. He is more valuable in his current position. God knows we need him.
That explains it.
Wow! Four stars. She could advise Eisenhower.
Insanity
The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement in response to Paxton's letter, noting that the Texas Legislature set a compliance deadline of Dec. 1, 2026 for the new law, not June 1, 2026.
"Further, public statements citing, ‘no additional efforts’ must be understood in full context. Dallas County currently maintains an active working relationship with ICE and participates in operational coordination substantially similar to the jail-enforcement model contemplated by Chapter 753. My comments reflected my position that Dallas County already engages in cooperation with federal authorities and does not view duplicative administrative measures as necessary to achieve the public safety objectives underlying the statute," Sheriff Brown said in the statement.
From texaspolicyresearch.com:
The law took effect January 1, 2026, and requires compliance no later than December 1, 2026.
Nonsense article. Paxton looking for a headline to help out his senate campaign.
"Dat no-account ICE aint got no business in dis county."
Black Sheriff Brown replaced a Hispanic lesbian “sheriff,”
so they’re moving up the grievance pyramid of “victimhood.”
They got a “spreadsheet of bonafide victims” just so they dont forget anybody.
Investigated for LACK of cooperation with ICE. Arrest her
