**Dallas Immobilized by Leftist Anti-ICE Pressure**
While Dallas City Hall plays defense on immigration enforcement, other North Texas cities are moving forward. This week, the City of Keller became the first in Tarrant County to vote unanimously [link removed] in favor of partnering with ICE through the 287(g) Warrant Service Officer program [link removed]. This allows trained detention officers to flag individuals already in custody for possible deportation. Keller’s mayor and council stood their ground, even as protesters demanded they back down. Their message was simple: protecting the public comes first.
Dallas, by contrast, is caught in political limbo. Chief Daniel Comeaux originally told Fox News [link removed] that DPD would assist federal agencies “if it’s lawful and respectful.” But after immediate backlash from left-wing activists, he walked back the comment, saying he was only referring to felony warrants. Since then, city officials have refused to clarify anything. When residents tried to raise the issue at a City Council meeting, councilmembers said they couldn’t respond because it wasn’t on the agenda. It’s been delay after delay.
All of this comes after months of silence from City Hall. The city’s Community Police Oversight Board sent a letter [link removed] asking Comeaux to explain DPD’s immigration policy. When the board tried to ask about it at a public meeting, they were shut down by a technicality. City leadership has had plenty of opportunities to speak clearly, and they’ve chosen not to.
If Keller, a smaller city with fewer resources, can take a clear stance on public safety, why can’t Dallas? Why is our leadership more afraid of activist outrage than they are of releasing dangerous criminals onto the streets?
It’s time for answers. If you believe Dallas should cooperate with federal partners to remove illegal immigrants, let your councilmember know. The people who live here, pay taxes here, and follow the law deserve transparency, not silence. Contact your representative and ask one simple question:

**Dallas Unveils FAILURE Budget, Deep Ellum Crime Spikes, and Fair Park Disaster.**
Executive Director of Keep Dallas Safe, Mark Lutchman, breaks down this week’s biggest red flags: a city budget that fails to meet voter-approved police goals, a crime wave hitting Deep Ellum, and the total collapse of Fair Park’s private management deal.
Behind every headline is a deeper pattern, weak leadership, broken oversight, and public safety taking the hit.

City Reclaims Fair Park Amid Financial Mismanagement [link removed]
Fair Park was handed over to a for-profit firm with big promises. Now it’s crumbling, contracts are missing, and millions in donations were misused. The city’s taking it back, but how did this mess go unchecked for so long? Where was the oversight?
Rival gangs in South Dallas sign first truce in 25 years after Wilmer-Hutchins shooting [link removed]

**"**
**Shady Underpass Camp**
**"**
Tents and trash pile up beneath a dark overpass on Technology Blvd, no outreach, no cleanup, just city neglect. This is what happens when leadership ignores reality.
**Councilman Jesse Moreno, how long will this camp stay hidden in plain sight?**
**District 6**
**Councilwoman**
**Laura Cadena**
**"Corner Cane Panhandler"**
A man with a cane stands panhandling at a busy intersection in District 6, just feet from passing traffic. This is enabling dangerous behavior in a public space.
**Councilwoman Laura Cadena, panhandling is illegal. Why is this still tolerated?**
**District 2**
**Councilman Jesse Moreno**
**"John Carpenter Makeshift Motel"**
An entire roadside setup, tent, clothesline, drying laundry, like it’s a permanent residence. This isn’t a camp, it’s a makeshift motel in broad daylight.
**Councilman Jesse Moreno, is this your vision for District 2?**

**Mission Statement:**
Keep Dallas Safe exists to address crime and homelessness in Dallas with the goal of transforming Dallas into the safest large city in Texas for residents and businesses. We aim to have a City Council that prioritizes crime rate which directly determines the quality of life in Dallas. We do this by fighting against the "defund the police" movement, holding accountable our city leaders' efforts towards lowering district crime rates, and highlighting our city's homelessness problems by pushing for enforcement of the prohibition of urban camping.
