It has been nearly a month since Daniel Comeaux was sworn in as he served as the new police chief in Dallas, Texas, where he adopted immigration enforcement compared to his predecessor and worked to align with the state’s asylum policy.

"We're going to do the right thing. We'll always be there to help our federal partners," Comeaux told Fox News Digital in an interview.

He continued: “If there is a federal agency that is operating and they need our help, we will be there to help them, as long as they do what they follow the law, they will do it with respect and the right way, and the DPD will be there to help.”

Comeaux also received support from Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, who said in his last interview with Fox News that he would support President Donald Trump's efforts to deport undocumented immigrants accused of violent crimes.

Johnson, who has been the mayor of Dallas since 2019, announced in 2023 that he would be transforming from Democrat to Republican and explained his decision in his decision. Wall Street Journal“American cities need Republicans.”

Dallas is one of the top ten cities in the United States and has seen important ones Reduce crime After Johnson took office in 2019.

Dallas is the largest city in the United States and is led by the Republican mayor, according to the Associated Press.

Johnson told Fox News Digital in 2021 that he attributed his success to three things – a strong police chief, “the budget reflects that public safety is a priority for your city” and ensures “community buy” to reduce crime.

"Mayor Johnson has appointed public safety as a top priority in Dallas, and the city has now won four consecutive titles to reduce violent crime," the mayor's office told Fox News Digital.

“The mayor’s support for President Trump’s agenda to bring the United States safe again and believes that working with federal law enforcement to stop violent criminals, especially illegal immigrants who are not authorized to enter our city or our country, will help keep Dallas safe.”

Johnson made his position clear on immigration enforcement, but his position is different from former DPD interim director Michael Igo.

"The Dallas Police Department has not assisted any federal agency in detaining people with records or undocumented records in the city of Dallas," CBS News said.

Igo also told parishioners that federal immigration officials said there would be no arrests or raids in churches, schools or hospitals, although he did say illegal immigrants with outstanding arrest warrants are at risk of deportation.

Comeaux also sees the issue differently than his predecessor, saying that while he doesn't necessarily say it is aligned with President Donald Trump's agenda, he said his department "does the right thing according to law enforcement."

"If we contact anyone who has no status, we will call the appropriate federal agency and let them handle it," Comeaux said. "We did not initiate any investigation. We did not initiate any plans. So everyone should be at will in their business."

Comeaux reiterates, if any Federal partners need to help in any way and they will be there to help.

The federal government has served as law enforcement for the past few decades and most recently served as a special agent for the DEA field office in Houston.

One of his biggest priorities, he said, is working to get felons out of the streets.

Comeaux warned: "Anyone with a felony order, always know that we may be the ones knocking on the door. This may not be the ones the postman knocking on the door, it may be us. So if you have a felony order, we are working to get you out of the street."

He continued: "We will take you to the necessary court you need to join. However, we are very active in getting anyone with a felony order out of the streets. We will keep everyone safe in Dallas."

Another feature the city protects the public is the camera system, Comeaux added.

He vowed: "One of the great things about Dallas is that we already have a lot of camera systems. We see what is happening throughout the city and everyone needs to know that if you are in this regard, if you commit crime in Dallas, we will most likely see you, we are seeing you, we are looking at you, and we are helping you."

Comeaux also warns anyone who wishes to bring about violence or violate the law.

"Not in this city. I'm a crime fighter and I've been a protector of my entire career since I was 21." "Pick another city. Don't come to Dallas, you're not welcome."

When asked what motivated Comeaux to leave the DEA office and resume policing, he reflected on the incident when he began his career as a Houston police officer at the age of 21.

"I will never forget those moments when I was working on the streets and I was able to really make a difference. One day I couldn't help an old man, which really stuck with me throughout my entire law enforcement career." "And I always knew I wanted to go back to local law enforcement and I wanted it to be a city that has an impact throughout the United States and Dallas was one of them."
