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.
How much you want to bet that ICE tries to raid one of these meetings?
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.
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.
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.
And these meetings aren’t just gonna be a honeypot for ICE to raid?
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
The chamber is also offering remote participation for those hesitant to attend in person.
Fuck trump. Fucking traitor.
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.

Knew we had some good guys out here
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.
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.
Uplifting news? In MY feed?
From a police department? In Texas???
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.
Right, pretty awesome!
A cop doing their job correctly? I never thought I’d see the day.
Good
Do it the American way: arm the undocumented.
Holy shit, what?
