Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation and issued a formal request for records from the City of Dallas concerning the Dallas Police Department’s refusal to comply with state and federal immigration laws.
Recently, Dallas Interim Police Chief Michael Igo said that “[t]he Dallas Police Department is not assisting any federal agency on detaining people that are either documented or undocumented in the City of Dallas.”
This assertion raises serious concerns that the City of Dallas and its police department may be violating Texas law, which prohibits local entities from adopting sanctuary city policies that limit immigration enforcement.
The Office of the Attorney General has formally requested all policies, training materials, and communications related to Dallas’s enforcement or non-enforcement of immigration laws, including any records reflecting decisions to decline cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
“The law is not optional. Local governments do not have the authority to disregard state and federal immigration laws,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The people of Texas expect law enforcement agencies to uphold public safety, not to implement sanctuary policies that put our communities at risk. My office will take all necessary legal actions to ensure compliance with state law and hold accountable any local entity that defies its legal obligations.”

Momo and me lived in Dallas for many years. Uptown, then a home in Kessler Park, a section of Oakcliff. The city is over-run with illegals, and crime is off the charts. We left there in 2008 and swore we would never live there again. Dallas permeates a ghetto mentality. Fort Worth is different, it’s still rooted in the old west and cowboy culture, and that’s where we visit. We live about 30 miles southwest but have to hitch up the wagon and go to the big city a few times a month. Sure, it has crime, but nothing like the Big D, which isn’t so big anymore. Good stuff, Jack.

So agree. I will go & stay near or in Fort Worth, but have bypassed Dallas for at least 20 years.

Looks like Dallas is to Texas as Jackson is to Wyoming. Is Dallas just as liberal as Austin?

People, generally not so much. Politics, close.

The city might find itself under martial law if it doesn’t wake up? It’s so insane. In the quaint little town of New London, just half an hour away, this bastion of rich leftists are putting up an apartment complex to house illegal aliens. There will be crackdowns everywhere.

New London remains in my memory of a good place to visit. But that was over 25 years ago. It is sad.
