Similar Stories to Aclu Appeals Ruling Allowing Colorado Sheriff To Continue Operating Federal Immigration Program In County Jail on Bing News

The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado is appealing a judge’s ruling that allows the Teller County sheriff to continue operating a program under which deputies can conduct federal immigration enforcement. Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell has been operating under a 287(g) agreement, a program state and local law enforcement agencies can enter into with the federal government, which trains and allows deputies to enforce federal immigration laws. In the Teller County jail, that means the deputies who go through the program can identify inmates as immigrants who are potentially violating civil immigration law and then hold them until Immigration and Customs Enforcement picks them up for immigration detention. But the ACLU contends that this goes beyond a county sheriff’s authority and is a violation of the Colorado Constitution — because inmates are held beyond their release date without a signed judge’s order — and a 2019 state law that limits cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. In late February, a Teller County District Court judge sided with Teller County, saying the sheriff’s deputies are acting as “de facto federal officers” when performing those functions. The ACLU filed its notice to appeal with the Colorado Court of Appeals on Thursday, further extending the years-long legal case.

    President Joe Biden has officially surpassed president-elect Donald Trump’s record of judicial appointed to federal courts—by one single judge. On Friday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, tasked with carrying out the confirmations of Biden’s appointees, announced that it had confirmed Biden’s 235th judge—one more than Trump during his term in office, when he blitzed the courts with white, male, right-wing judicial activists.

    Elections matter! Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced this week that nearly 23,000 Connecticut residents who have medical debt will have some or all of it wiped away under the first round of a major initiative through a partnership with the national nonprofit organization Undue Medical Debt. The nonprofit contracts with state and local governments and leverages public investments to negotiate with hospitals and other providers on the elimination of large, bundled portfolios of qualifying medical debt owed by patients whose income is at or below four times (400%) the federal poverty level or who have medical debt that is 5% or more of their income.

  • Van Orden Drunksplains What's Going On With Republicans
    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 12/22/2024 - 09:00 AM

    Sahil Kapur of NBC News caught up with Rep. Drunken Van Orden (MAGA-Nearest corner bar) and asked him about the chaos and mayhem the Republicans are causing with passing a budget bill in order to comply with President Musk's and his puppet, Orange Felon's, demands. Needless to say, DVO was more than bit confused: KAPUR: Congressman, do you think President-elect Trump should have made his demand earlier, earlier than one or two days before the deadline? DVO: President Trump didn't make a demand, But to be very clear, President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.
