Colorado Counties Challenge State Immigration Laws

Douglas County in Colorado has filed a lawsuit against Governor Jared Polis and the state government over sanctuary immigration policies, specifically targeting two state bills that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities. County officials argue that these laws violate the Colorado State Constitution and hinder their ability to work with federal authorities to keep their communities safe. The lawsuit reflects the county's prioritization of the rights of legally present individuals and its opposition to policies that impact the quality of life for its residents.
