Good afternoon Ms. Russell,
This is in response to your request for "policies and trainings regarding cooperation and/or coordination" between DPS and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office (ICE). I have attached our department policy on foreign nationals. The Troopers do not investigate immigration status, so we do not coordinate with ICE in that sense. However, if during the course of a criminal investigation or contact a Trooper learns a person is in the country illegally, ICE would be notified.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Best,
Allison
