A group of Colorado law enforcement and elected officials on Monday spoke in support of upcoming legislation that would increase their ability to work with the Department of Immigration Control and Enforcement in the prosecution of violent criminals living in the U.S. illegally.
El Paso County Sheriff Joe Roybal, Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell and U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank held a news conference at the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office as part of an effort to galvanize public support for Senate Bill 25-047, Enforcement of Federal Immigration Law, which would repeal existing Colorado immigration laws that Roybal called “anti-public safety.”
