Federal Judge Dismisses Justice Departments Sanctuary Lawsuit Against Colorado and Denver
A federal judge has thrown out the Justice Departments lawsuit against Colorado and Denver over their sanctuary laws, which limit local police from aiding federal immigration enforcement. The judge cited a 1997 Supreme Court decision that the government cannot force local officers to perform federal duties. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston hailed the ruling as a victory for states rights and local control. The Justice Department has filed similar suits against other cities, but this ruling sets a precedent for protecting local control on immigration assistance. More battles are expected as these policies unfold nationwide.
