Xeno's are generally the enemy of the Imperium, but it wasn't a blanket rule across the board, with some Primarchs even liking xenos.

I think Dorn was also hyper xenophobic as well. If I recall correctly (please correct me if Im wrong or if you remember the book ) one time the Imperial Fist came across a human planet whose inhabitants altered themselves by using alien DNA in order to survive from a virus. They were 100% on board with joining the Imperium as well and all this alteration did was slighty change their smell to the point it was barely noticeable. However once T.I.F. learned that they had xeno DNA in them they straight up slaughtered everyone on the planet. They even got congratulated by the Custodes for a job well done.
