Less than two months after President-elect Donald Trump announced “Operation Aurora” — a.k.a. operation mass deportation — Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman says he shouldn’t expect much help in Colorado.
“At this point, there’s really nothing we can do — there’s nothing to prepare for — because we really have no authority,” Coffman said.
It’s against state law for local law enforcement in Colorado to cooperate with federal immigration agents. While Douglas County and El Paso County have challenged the law in court, unless it’s overturned, Coffman says Trump will be on his own in the Centennial State.
