ICE, FBI, DEA take down fentanyl ring in Colorado tied to Honduran nationals

DENVER (KDVR) โ€” Five people were indicted by a Colorado grand jury on charges of possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute, according to the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office for the District of Colorado.

The indictment for the case cites five incidents between June 24, 2024, and April 15, 2025, wherein officials alleged that the defendants had either 400 grams or 40 grams or more of fentanyl and were intending to sell it.

Cole: Illegal driving, rising costs, and scarce patrolsโ€”welcome to Denverโ€™s roads

Each afternoon, my three-mile commute home in Denverโ€™s metro area is a nerve-wrecking ordeal. Drivers speed through stop signs, ignore red lights, or stop inexplicably at unmarked intersections. Cars swerve across lanes, straddle the center line, or disrupt four-way stops.ย 

Vehicles without plates, with expired tags, or overdue permits are all too common.ย 

As a single-income earner with only liability insurance, I dread a crash with an uninsured driver.ย 

One accident could destroy my carโ€”my lifeline to work and rent.

Gazette editorial board: Sanctuary policies cost Denver taxpayersโ€”again

Say what you will about the Trump administration, but give it credit for sparing U.S. taxpayers from bailing out cities whose sanctuary policies made them magnets for illegal immigration.

The fact that Denver is among those cities isnโ€™t Washingtonโ€™s fault. Itโ€™s Mayor Mike Johnstonโ€™s.

And the fact that Denver now likely wonโ€™t be reimbursed some or all of $32 million it had forced local taxpayers to pony up in welcoming the latest wave of illegal immigrants, as reported by The Gazette, is Johnstonโ€™s comeuppance. Itโ€™s also Denver taxpayersโ€™ loss.

Joondeph: Trump Could Put Hillary Clinton in Charge of Immigration

Watching legacy media might give one the impression that President Donald Trump is cleaning house, deporting the tens of millions of illegal aliens allowed into America during the terms of all recent past presidents.

And that border czar Tom Homan is leading a scorched earth effort to round up each and every illegal alien and send them packing.

At least thatโ€™s the perception one might have by watching network or cable news.

What is the reality? How are Trumpโ€™s โ€œmassiveโ€ and โ€œunprecedentedโ€ deportations going?

FEMA cuts $32 million from Denverโ€™s immigrant shelter grants under Trump directive

The Trump administration has terminated roughly $32 million in grant funding to Denver earmarked for the city’s response to the illegal immigration crisis, saying such spending no longer aligns with the federal government’s enforcement priorities.ย 

“The Department, consistent with President Trump’s direction, is focused on advancing the essential mission of enforcing immigration laws and securing the border,” the letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.

Garbo: How Democrats weaponizedโ€“and betrayed American citizens while defending criminal illegal immigrants

Democrats have made their priorities unmistakably clear: American citizens come last. The people they swore to represent โ€“ the very citizens who pay their salaries and trust them to uphold the Constitution โ€“ are now treated as political enemies, stripped of basic rights, and left to rot in the name of partisan gain.ย 

Meanwhile, violent foreign nationals, like MS-13 gang members, are given more care, sympathy, and legal protection than the American people ever receive.ย 

This isnโ€™t just hypocrisy. This is betrayal.

Federal judge extends Colorado deportation ban tied to 1798 law as legal fight escalates

DENVER (AP) โ€” A federal judge has extended her order temporarily preventing the Trump administration from moving or deporting anyone from Colorado under an 18th century wartime act that has become ensnared in a U.S. Supreme Court battle.

District Court Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney cited the high courtโ€™s weekend order barring removal of anyone from North Texas, where the ACLU had contended the administration was preparing to deport Venezuelans under theย Alien Enemies Actย of 1798 without giving them the legal notice required under a prior Supreme Court ruling.

Cole: Denverโ€™s dangerous dance with low cash bail and ICE detainer policies puts public safety at risk

Denver prides itself on progressive values and compassion for its diverse communities. But recent events have exposed a troubling reality: the cityโ€™s criminal justice policiesโ€”specifically low cash bail for serious felony offenses and short notification windows for ICE detainersโ€”are creating a revolving door for dangerous criminals, putting our neighborhoods at risk.ย 

The case of Bayron Turcios-Murillo, a confirmed Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang member, is a stark example of how these policies fail to protect the public while allowing violent offenders to slip through the cracks.
