Austin
Latino Business and Community Leaders Meet with New Police Chief to
Address Key Concerns
On January 28,
2025, more than 60 Latino leaders from TAMACC, HABLA, and LULAC came
together to host a pivotal meet-and-greet with Austin’s newly
appointed Chief of Police, Lisa Davis. The gathering fostered
dialogue on critical issues affecting the Latino community.
Discussions
centered around the heightened presence of DEA and ICE agents in
Austin over the weekend, sparking concerns about the city’s approach
to immigration enforcement. Leaders pressed for clarity on the City’s
stance and its plans to protect and support immigrant communities.
In a united effort
to seek solutions, the coalition formally requested a meeting with
Latino Council Members and the Mayor to further address these urgent
matters and explore pathways for collaboration.
Before concluding,
attendees underscored the need for continued engagement, unanimously
agreeing that more conversations like this are essential to ensuring
the safety, well-being, and representation of Austin’s Latino
community.
