It fluctuates. Obviously the strip focusses on humans and mutants, but aliens have been a part of the strip since very early on, subject to the usual level of Big Meg immigration issues / horrifying exploitation if they're nice and murder rampages if they're not. One of the big early epics, the Judge Child Saga, is almost entirely about Dredd, Hershey and a couple of other Judges adventuring around the galaxy and subjected to strange things like being shrunk and stolen by a spider headed travelling salesman or killed and resurected by a necromancer who uses a giant toad as a drug producer / execution method. Dredd gets on surprisingly well with the aliens he meets who aren't trying to murder or mate with him (a minority, admittedly) - he became very close to an alien he rescued from slavery during the Cursed Earth saga, and is considered an honorary Stookie for saving a big colony of them from being kidnapped and ground up for drugs. Aliens that have been been brought to Mega City One under false pretences or have been trafficed are usually allowed to leave fairly peacably and the people responsible dealt with harshly, just like they would if they had been people smuggling. In terms of hostile aliens there's been several classic invasions by various kinds, lots of things that have been either accidentally brought in by holidaying tourists or smuggled in by idiot perps (see the Xenomorph above from Incubus). The Kleggs, gigantic crocodillians with a taste for human flesh, rhyming, and an interstellar empire, were introduced as henchmen for the insane Judge Cal and have returned quite a bit since then, with "Sensitive Klegg" becoming something of a celebrity. There's also a fair number of one-off dickheads who are just spoiling for a fight, like the Predator or the Howler (pic related)
