"There are so many better ways for our police to use their time and resources than to target residents who serve no threat." — Adam Bazaldua, Dallas City Council Memberimplementing SB4 would negatively affect relationships with the “nearly one quarter of Dallas residents” who are from a country other than the U.S. and who contribute to public services, local diversity and the city’s economy.
“There are so many better ways for our police to use their time and resources than to target residents who serve no threat,” Bazaldua said. “I hope residents understand this resolution is meant to convey what we are committed to as a body: ensuring this city is inclusive, welcoming and embraces those of different backgrounds."
Prior to the committee’s vote, council member Paul Ridley said he supported the resolution and believes the law is"patently unconstitutional" but does not think Dallas taking a stand on the SB4 debate will influence the Legislature. Council member Zarin Gracey said passing the resolution could be a necessary show of support for community members who feel threatened by SB4.
“We understand this law is a cause for concern for some in our community. The Dallas Police Department understands these concerns and will continue to enforce the existing state law that prohibits racial profiling,” Garcia wrote in an email. “The Department cannot prohibit or limit the enforcement of immigration laws; however, residents of Dallas, victims and witnesses should continue to feel confident in working with the Dallas Police Department.
