It’s been nearly a month since Daniel Comeaux took office as the new chief of police in Dallas, TX. He is adopting a different strategy from his predecessor regarding immigration enforcement and aims to be in line with the state’s sanctuary policies.

“We’re gonna do what’s right. We’re always gonna be there to help our federal partners,” Comeaux told Fox News Digital during an interview. 

“If there’s a federal agency conducting an operation and they require our assistance, we’ll support them, provided they are acting lawfully and with respect. In such cases, the DPD will be ready to assist,” he stated.

Comeaux has the backing of Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, who mentioned in a past interview with Fox News that he supports President Donald Trump’s initiatives to deport undocumented immigrants accused of violent crimes.

Comeaux added that another feature the city has in place to protect the public is a camera system. 

“One great thing about Dallas is we have so many camera systems in place. We see what’s happening across the city and everyone needs to understand that and know that if you’re in this area, if you commit crimes in Dallas, it’s very likely that we’re seeing you, we’re watching you, and we’re coming to get you,” he vowed. 

Comeaux also issued a warning to anyone looking to bring violence to the city or break the law to think again.

“Not in this city. I’ve been a crime fighter, I’ve been a protector for my entire career, ever since I was 21 years old,” he said. “Pick another city. Don’t come to Dallas, you’re not welcome.” 

When asked what motivated Comeaux to leave the DEA’s office and get back into policing, he reflected on an incident when he started his career as a Houston police officer at 21.

“I’ll never forget those moments when I was working the streets, and I was able to really make a difference. I was unable to help an elderly person one day and that has really stuck with me for my entire law enforcement career,” the chief shared. “And I always knew I wanted to circle back to local law enforcement and I wanted it to be in a city that can really be influential throughout the entire United States and Dallas was one of those.”
