Douglas County’s commissioners are eyeing a legal challenge to Colorado’s “sanctuary” laws amid a surge in illegal immigration that has already cost Denver — the epicenter of the crisis — tens of millions of dollars.
They also advanced a proposed ordinance that bars commercial buses from unloading passengers “other than at a planned and scheduled documented destination,” a clear attempt to stop immigrants from arriving at the county’s doors unannounced.
In a resolution, the commissioners on Tuesday directed the county attorney to “pursue legal action to permit the county to fully cooperate with federal law enforcement.”
