The Dallas Police Department (DPD) has initiated a series of outreach meetings aimed at informing immigrant communities that the agency will not participate in deportation raids or arrests conducted by the Trump administration. At least five meetings are scheduled, with the first already held on Wednesday and the rest planned until Feb. 20, as per the DPD Facebook page.
During the initial meeting, DPD Interim Chief Michael Igo addressed concerns within local immigrant communities regarding the force's involvement in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation efforts, which have intensified under the current administration. Chief Igo assured attendees at Familia Bethel Internacional church in Dallas that the DPD will not collaborate with federal agencies to detain individuals, regardless of their immigration status.
