Texas AG probes Dallas over police immigration policies

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into Dallas officials, claiming the police department is not following state and federal immigration laws. This follows comments from interim police chief Michael Igo about the department's immigration enforcement policies. Igo stated that Dallas officers cannot stop individuals solely to check immigration status but will assist in arrests for criminal offenses. Paxton's concerns stem from Igo's remarks during a recent press conference, where he indicated the department would not engage in federal immigration enforcement. Paxton's office has requested all relevant policies and communications from Dallas regarding immigration law enforcement. This investigation adds to Paxton's ongoing legal disputes with the city, including a previous challenge over a gun ban at the State Fair of Texas.
