Federal Judge in Denver Dismisses DOJ Lawsuit Against Colorado, Upholding Sanctuary Laws
A federal judge in Denver has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against Colorado and the city of Denver, upholding state and local sanctuary laws. The lawsuit claimed these laws violated the Constitutions Supremacy Clause and blocked immigration enforcement. The judge cited a 1997 Supreme Court decision that states cannot be forced to do federal policing work. Denvers mayor, Mike Johnston, praised the ruling, stating it proves local leaders dont have to fund federal immigration rules. This decision strengthens sanctuary policies nationwide, allowing states to focus resources where they want without federal pressure.
