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.

My first thought was ‘is Dallas county majority Hispanic now?’ So I checked and yes, the largest demographic group is now Hispanic/Latino
Says a lot about the times we’re living in that this is what good news is now.
Good
How much you want to bet that ICE tries to raid one of these meetings?
And these meetings aren’t just gonna be a honeypot for ICE to raid?
The chamber is also offering remote participation for those hesitant to attend in person.
Ummm yes, literally what you wrote. A honeypot FOR ICE; if all the ICE agents show up where they are told there will be a bunch of immigrants but there’s just one middle aged white guy named Jim Bob, then everyone else is safe.
muwahahahah
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.
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.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
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.
Imma wait for the other shoe to drop before I start taking this win.
They want to be the ones to genocide migrants, not the feds.
Hot take:
They’re only doing this because they know if they commit resources ($$$) to helping ICE, they will NEVER see a single cent come back.Do it the American way: arm the undocumented.
Uplifting news? In MY feed?
From a police department? In Texas???
Right, pretty awesome!
On a Monday during a Trump Administration?
Truly the end times are upon us.
May I see it?
No
Sad fact, most major cities in Texas are blue. Even Fort Worth has been going more blue. It the gerrymandering and rural areas keeping it red.
A cop doing their job correctly? I never thought I’d see the day.
Holy shit, what?
NACAB?
Seems a bit more like a “broken clock is still right twice a day” situation.
Wait for it…
No, ACAB.
Definitely, absolutely, unequivocally; ACAB.
