The Special Called Community Police Oversight Board meeting convened on June 6, 2025, at 5:30 PM, chaired by John Mark Davidson. The meeting began with a roll call, confirming a quorum of board members representing various districts in Dallas.

Following the roll call, the board opened the floor for public comments, but no attendees chose to speak. The primary agenda item was to discuss and vote on a draft letter to Dallas Police Chief Eddie Como regarding the department's stance on immigration and its involvement in deportations conducted by ICE. This letter was prompted by a previous meeting on May 13, 2025, where the Chief's response was deemed insufficient.

Chairman Davidson outlined the process for the meeting, indicating that a motion would be needed to discharge the policy committee from further involvement in crafting the letter. This was necessary as the committee had not met in time to finalize the letter before the Chief's upcoming attendance at the regular meeting on Tuesday. The board aimed to send the letter by Monday morning to allow the Chief adequate time to review it.

Davidson emphasized the importance of the issue at hand, noting that all board members, regardless of their voting intentions, cared deeply about the community's concerns. He encouraged a respectful and collaborative discussion among board members.

A motion to discharge the policy committee was made by Tim Jackson and seconded by Dr. Lauren Gilbert Smith. The motion passed unanimously. Subsequently, a motion was made by Judge C. Victor Lander to approve the draft letter, marking a significant step in the board's efforts to address community concerns regarding police involvement in immigration enforcement.

The meeting underscored the board's commitment to transparency and accountability in police practices, reflecting ongoing community dialogues about immigration and law enforcement in Dallas. Further discussions and the final vote on the letter are anticipated in the upcoming regular meeting.
