The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will continue to enforce federal immigration laws, but the Denver and Aurora police departments will not. The Gazette reports, the Colorado Springs Police Department is still evaluating its position.
The Denver Police Department issued a statement, saying, “Immigration enforcement is handled at the federal level – not by local law enforcement”.
Aurora’s police chief posted a statement assuring residents his policy on immigration enforcement has not changed. He said his officers will not enforce, investigate or detain individuals based on their immigration status.
