City addresses ICE reports

The City of Farmers Branch is aware of media reports about federal immigration enforcement activity in the city, and we are not aware of any operations that are planned or that have been conducted within our city limits. Federal agencies conduct their own operations and are not under any obligation to alert the local jurisdiction of their plans.

The City of Farmers Branch does not direct or oversee federal enforcement actions and has not received any requests to participate in immigration-related operations. Our priority is the safety and well-being of all who live, work, and visit our community.

City services remain accessible to everyone, and our public safety departments continue their routine operations. We understand that the presumed presence of federal agencies can create concern among members of our community and could have an impact on some public activities. The city is committed to maintaining open communication and ensuring that residents continue to have access to city facilities, programs, and services. 

If you are the victim of a crime, you should continue to alert the police department so that a report can be taken and follow up investigation of the offense can occur. We encourage anyone with questions about federal enforcement activities to contact the appropriate federal agency directly at 866-347-2423.

The city remains focused on supporting our community, keeping residents informed, and ensuring that city services remain available and accessible to everyone.
