City of Dallas Official Statement on Immigration
DALLAS - Dallas’ diversity is our strength and contributes to the economic and cultural vibrancy of our community. We will continue to serve all our residents without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or other protected categories. That is not only the law but the right thing to do. The federal government is primarily responsible for enforcing immigration laws. The City of Dallas and the Dallas Police Department (DPD) will continue to be responsive to community needs and promote public safety for residents. DPD will continue to enforce city and state laws while upholding the constitutional rights of residents. DPD and other city departments are guided by the Dallas Welcoming Strategic Plan, which seeks to serve as a plan for civic, economic, and linguistic social integration and inclusion for Dallas’ diverse communities.
Currently, there are no changes to how the City of Dallas and DPD will provide services. This also means that if you are a victim of a crime, you have the right to report it, regardless of immigration status. The City of Dallas will continue to follow changes to federal or state law and will communicate if there is an impact on municipal operations through regular City communication channels, including the City of Dallas website, social media, press releases, and newsletters.
