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 major cities are little drops of blue in a sea of red.
It’s still more purple. Remember, land doesn’t vote. You may be able to gerrymander state and congressional seats, but governor and president are still the entire state. My hopes is it keeps moving more blue, but then you get the Hispanics in the valley who vote against their own interests.
Texas will inevitably be blue. Just like what happened with California.
I keep patiently waiting but I’m so ready to ditch this place.
don’t leave. same reason i remain in florida. that’s why they want. if all the sane people leave, you raise the % of insane to sane.
we counter intuitively need more progressives to move and live in florida and texas. these are going to be the two most important starts in the upcoming century
plus while the government is insane, there are many varied and diverse communities in these states. i live in an immigrant heavy community in florid and absolutely love it more than the blue states i’ve lived in the past. minus the state government, needless to say
Some parts of the cities might be, but it sure as shit ain’t the police departments.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think these cops have to live in the areas they police.
