The attorneys said that when ICE detained several men near Vail last month, agents pulled them over and handcuffed them without warrants and without asking them any questions. ICE agents later left branded playing cards with information about its Denver field office in some of those men’s abandoned cars, alarming advocates.
The allegations come more than two months after U.S. District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson found that ICE was routinely conducting illegal arrests in Colorado as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown. Warning that ICE’s conduct would continue without a court’s intervention, he ordered the agency to take several steps to change the practice.
While ICE can detain people without warrants, federal law requires that they have probable cause to believe that the arrestee is in the country illegally and that the person is likely to flee before a future court date.
So state law enforcement needs to enforce the law? 🤔🤷
Well, no one could have seen that coming. Maybe we should try a restraining order to keep ICE a minimum distance from the civilians they would otherwise murder. It’s foolproof!!
