The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against Colorado and Denver, alleging that state and local laws hinder federal immigration enforcement. This legal action targets specific statutes that prevent cooperation with immigration authorities, such as prohibiting detentions based solely on immigration holds. The lawsuit also contests a Denver city measure that restricts the use of local resources for immigration enforcement. Overall, the lawsuit aims to declare these policies unconstitutional, asserting the need for federal supremacy in immigration matters, while also highlighting differing local policies aimed at fostering trust within immigrant communities.
This is a suit to put an end to those disastrous policies and restore the supremacy of federal immigration law.
Democratic officials in several cities say that the policies help immigrants feel comfortable reporting crimes and interacting with health departments and schools.
