Dallas police chief addresses immigration, felony warrant enforcement
The Brief The new Dallas police chief sat down with FOX 4's Steven Dial again this week to talk about immigration enforcement and felony warrant enforcement. The chief said police are not out searching for illegal immigrants but will cooperate with federal partners as needed. He also believes that enforcing felony warrants is a priority because he thinks those with felony warrants are more likely to commit crimes. DALLAS - The new Dallas police chief will be formally sworn in on Monday, along with the new fire chief. But first, Chief Daniel Comeaux shared his opinions on immigration enforcement and tracking down people with felony warrants. "We're not out searching for illegal immigrants from the Dallas Police Department. However, like I said, we will work with our federal partners and assist when needed," Chief Comeaux said. "When it comes to immigration, look, we have no programs here where we're gone out initiating a program looking for immigrants. However, we will work shoulder to shoulder with all of our federal partners if they need our assistance," he said. "Look, we need information to keep everyone safe, and that's what's so important, right? When you see something, you should say something, and anyone that has information, we want and need that information to do our job," he said. "We have Operation Justice Trail right now, and we're looking for anybody that has felony warrants. So, we have extra officers on the ground right now on the streets looking for everybody that has a felony warrant," the chief said. "Well, look, if you're wanted by any state, any county, if you have been arrested and you have a warrant out for your arrest, we're doing extra work to find you right now. So, be quite honest, be nice if you turn yourself in. Because if not, it might be us at six in the morning knocking on your door," he said. "Look, I believe those who have felony warrants out there are more likely to commit crimes than say somebody rolling down the street with loud music. So, because of that, we're gonna target these individuals that have felony warrants to make sure we take them into custody," he said.
