Polis open to signing bill restricting local ICE cooperation as Colorado sanctuary debate heats up

Colorado Politics, Approved, State / May 15, 2025 / 75th Colorado Legislature, Ann Arbor Police, Governor Jared Polis, Illegal Immigration, Law Enforcement, Public safety, Sanctuary Policies, Sanctuary state, SB 25-276

Gov. Jared Polis said that while he had “major problems” with an earlier proposal that sought to inoculate immigrants from federal policies, the bill now includes “workable language,” thereby signaling his intent to sign it.

The governor reiterated he is still reviewing the proposal, which underwent several changes before its final passage during the 2025 legislative session.

At its core, Senate Bill 276 reemphasized existing state law that precludes local law enforcers from detaining an individual based on an “immigration detainer.” An immigration “detainer” is a notice issued to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies informing the latter that agents intend to assume custody of an individual no longer subject to the former’s detention.
