Texas investigates Dallas over immigration enforcement compliance

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into Dallas for allegedly not cooperating with federal immigration authorities. This follows comments from interim Police Chief Michael Igo, stating the department would not assist in detaining individuals based solely on immigration status. Paxton's inquiry seeks documents related to the city's immigration enforcement policies. Texas law, specifically Senate Bill 4, requires local law enforcement to comply with federal immigration laws, and noncompliance can lead to fines and legal action. The investigation highlights tensions between state immigration policies and the practices of Democratic-run cities like Dallas. The Attorney General's office will review the requested documents to determine if the Dallas Police Department is violating state law.
