| 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. |
