After confronting a recent legal setback in a five-year-long lawsuit, the sheriff has fired back in a highly publicized press conference, taking direct aim at state lawmakers and their immigration policies.
Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell went as far as accusing the state of preventing law enforcement agencies from keeping their communities safe.
Earlier this month, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled against a previous decision made by District Judge Scott Sells that basically concluded that the Teller County Sheriff’s Office’s 287g agreement with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency didn’t break any federal or state laws.
