A proposed ballot measure would require law enforcement in Colorado to cooperate with federal immigration detainer requests.
The measure, filed by the conservative advocacy group Advance Colorado, is in response to Colorado’s so-called “Sanctuary State” status protecting illegal immigrants.
“State and local law enforcement must cooperate with federal requests to notify the Department of Homeland Security prior to release and detain inmates if: (A) the inmate is charged with a crime of violence as defined by C.R.S,; or (B) the inmate has been convicted of a prior felony,” the measure reads.
