Colorado Committee Advances Anti-Sanctuary Bill

The Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee passed Senate Bill (SB) 281, also known as the Colorado Citizen Protection against Sanctuary Policies Act, on Monday, to prohibit sanctuary policies that impede the enforcement of immigration law in the state. The Committee voted 3-2, party line, in support of the measure.

SB 281 states that it is the policy of Colorado to ensure, to the fullest extent of the law, all state and local entities comply with federal immigration law. In accordance with federal law, SB 281 prohibits any policy that prohibits or in any way restricts, the sending, receiving, maintaining, or exchanging of immigration status information with the federal government. The measure prohibits sanctuary jurisdictions in violation of SB 281 from receiving state funding.

Dont get your hopes up.  The CO Senate is Republican controlled, the House is Dem controlled.  Gov is Dem as well.  I suspect this will die in House committee.
