“Liberal Group Threatens to Sue Law Enforcement in Blue State for Helping ICE”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado has threatened to take legal action against the Aurora Police Department and potentially Sheriff Tobe Calhoun, after they allegedly worked with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to detain over a dozen immigrants linked to a violent gang in a recent home invasion incident.
In a letter to the department, ACLU Executive Director Lisa Pino stated that any cooperation between law enforcement and ICE could be deemed an “unconstitutional and illegal” violation of due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment. She also warned that if the department does not stop its alleged collaboration with ICE, the organization will seek legal action against them.
“We have taken legal action against law enforcement offices that ran afoul of Colorado law, and if necessary, will do so again,” said Pino in a statement. “We are ready to respond to violations of our neighbors’ civil rights and to prevent constitutional violations of the rights of Colorado families and communities.”
The letter also emphasized that under Colorado law, law enforcement officials can be personally liable for any damages or attorney’s fees resulting from an unconstitutional action.
