Democrats unveil effort to shield immigrants in Colorado from ICE

The bill would further block local cooperation with federal immigration authorities and attempt to outlaw deportation operations in certain Colorado locations. It’s in part a response to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

The Unaffiliated — All politics, no agenda.
A group of Democratic state lawmakers is trying to create new protections for immigrants in Colorado against hardline deportation policies under the Trump administration.

This story was produced as part of the Colorado Capitol News Alliance. It first appeared at kunc.org.

“People are scared and afraid. And I understand that, and I respect it, because I’ve also got a little pit of anxiety in my stomach too,” said Sen. Julie Gonzales of Denver. “We drafted a lot of the this policy in response to the actual tactics that we have seen be utilized by ICE now under the second Trump administration.”

Gonzales and a group of other Democrats, Sen. Mike Weissman of Aurora, Rep. Lorena Garcia of Adams County and Rep. Elizabeth Velasco of Glenwood Springs, introduced a long-awaited piece of legislation Friday that would limit local cooperation with federal immigration authorities, like U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

I guess the people of Colorado are so high (take that as you like) they haven't been able to process that Biden is no longer POTUS and that the person who is in the WH now is not the sniveling mental incompetent that was and is not going to back at the slightest pushback. **nononono*

Get HHS to figure out what's in the water along the Front Range. Gotta be something there that affects the ability to think...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
