Dallas is becoming a safe haven for illegal repeat offenders, and even ICE is sounding the alarm. Federal agents say non-cooperative cities like ours make their job harder and our neighborhoods less safe. Instead of working with ICE to remove violent criminals, Dallas leaders have reassured undocumented residents they won’t face enforcement. The result? Offenders who should have been deported continue walking free in our communities.
Recent cases prove the point. A Honduran man on Texas’s 10 Most Wanted list was caught in Dallas after multiple deportations. A Mexican immigrant who stabbed a man seven times and set his body on fire was released with no prison time. A group of Venezuelans tied up and pistol-whipped a woman during a Dallas home invasion. These aren’t isolated, they’re the consequence of a city that refuses to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
ICE officials are blunt: in Dallas, they’re forced to re-arrest the same criminals again and again. Meanwhile, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties partner with ICE under the 287(g) program, flagging offenders before they re-offend. Dallas is the outlier, and families are paying the price.
The numbers are staggering. Across Texas, undocumented immigrants have been charged with over 559,000 crimes, including 1,132 homicides and 6,566 sexual assaults. Assaults on ICE agents have surged 830% this year, and Dallas has already seen its share of threats. Yet City Hall insists we’re “in compliance” while criminals slip through the cracks.
| Dallas families deserve better. Violent offenders should not view our city as a safe haven. Contact your City Council member today and demand they put YOU before violent criminals by cooperating with ICE and keeping dangerous criminals out of our neighborhoods.

Newsom Says Dallas Is Worse Than LA—Is He Wrong?
Gavin Newsom claims Dallas is in worse shape than Los Angeles. Meanwhile, City Hall insists crime is “down.” But residents see the daily reality: rising violence, encampments, and urban decay. If Dallas keeps following failed policies, it won’t take long for us to catch up with LA.
Tracking Illegal Camps:
District 2 – Councilman Jesse Moreno
“Camps Ahead: Do Not Enter “
A massive homeless encampment stretches across the underpass at Harry Hines Blvd and W Northwest Hwy. Despite clear “Do Not Enter” signs, this space has become an entrenched encampment. Council Member Moreno, how long do you plan to let this lawless slum fester in the heart of your district?
District 13
Councilwoman Gay Donnell Willis – “Corner Urban Reserve”
Leaned against the wall of Central Expressway, this solo encampment features a tent and scattered personal items. Councilwoman Willis, how long does this need to sit here before it’s cleared? Isn’t this your district?
District 2 – Councilman Jesse Moreno
“Coombs St Tunnel Camp”
A full-blown encampment has taken over the underpass on Coombs St in The Cedars. Tents lined wall to wall. Trash scattered. Shopping carts, bikes, and bins clogging the sidewalk. You can’t walk through it, let alone feel safe. Councilman Moreno, how is this acceptable just blocks from City Hall?
