The ACLU of Colorado has filed a lawsuit against a pair of Aurora landlords who the civil rights group accuses of threatening tenants, in violation of state law.
An ACLU spokesman says the threats violate Colorado’s Immigrant Tenant Protection Act and filed a civil suit in Arapahoe County District Court on Monday.
According to the suit, Avi Schwalb and Nancy Dominguez of PHS Rent LLC threatened to report two tenants and their children, aged 15 and 3, to ICE. Reached by phone Tuesday afternoon, Dominguez declined to comment. The ACLU says the couple, who are not identified in the lawsuit, have pending asylum cases with the U.S.
