Dallas Police Department has told immigrant communities that they will not partake in any ICE deportation raids despite brash orders made by President Donald Trump. Officers announced their decision to break against the ultra-conservative views of the Texas red state in a Facebook post after revealing they would be hosting five sessions with the community in a bid to dampen down deportation fears.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott's office responded Thursday to news that his state's second-largest police department was not working with federal immigration enforcement agents, saying local officials should be complying.

The Dallas police chief did warn that undocumented immigrants with active criminal warrants are at risk of deportation.
