Lack of Communication Between ICE and Local Law Enforcement
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis expressed concern over the lack of notification from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding immigration raids in the city.
People who witness ICE arrests have even reported them as assaults or kidnappings, prompting local police to investigate what happened.
According to Chief Davis, this lack of communication causes confusion and threatens to create dangerous misunderstandings between local and federal law enforcement agencies.
- Police in some Texas cities receive advance notice of ICE raids, but Austin and Travis County do not.
- The Austin Police Department often only learns about raids due to public attention.
- The Travis County Sheriff’s Office also does not receive notification of impending immigration raids.
Author's summary: ICE raids lack coordination with local law enforcement.
