Castle Rock will support “any and all” immigration policies and deportation efforts from President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, including offering up the town’s police officers for assistance.
During Tuesday’s meeting, the Castle Rock Town Council unanimously approved a motion from Councilmember Max Brooks to declare support for the Trump administration’s planned immigration policies, “including anything we can do with our law enforcement personnel to support the deportation of illegal migrants” at the president’s request.
Brooks, who was elected to Colorado’s House of Representatives in November, promised to support state legislation permitting local law enforcement agencies to work with federal immigration officials and deportation efforts.
A law signed into action in 2019 prohibits law enforcement from arresting or detaining someone solely based on a request from federal immigration officials, and bars probation officers from providing personal information about their clients to immigration authorities.
State Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis was stripped of legislative aides this week by chamber leaders following new allegations about her treatment and management of staff.
Jaquez Lewis, a Longmont Democrat, had faced previous allegations of staff mistreatment. She was removed from a bill concerning wage theft protections during the regular legislative session earlier this year after facing allegations that she attempted to withhold pay from a staffer.
She had also faced a reprimand after other staff members and lawmakers “witnessed behavior they found concerning” in her treatment of aides.
In a letter sent Tuesday, outgoing Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat, said concerns about Jaquez Lewis’ treatment of staff is “now clearly a recurring issue that we have tried to address with you.” President-elect James Coleman and Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez, both Denver Democrats returning for the next legislative session in January, co-signed the letter.
“For this reason, in good conscience we cannot support placing an aide in your office while this behavior and complaints continue,” Fenberg wrote.
After a police report came out from 2017 alleging he raped a woman, as well as his mother's frantic email detailing his constant attacks on women, Pete Hegseth now claims he's the victim.
Trump's SecDef nominee joined Megyn Kelly on her podcast to take softball questions while trying to rehabilitate his chances of being approved by the Senate.
Kelly did her part by trying to equate all the sordid information coming out about Hegseth's behavior into one simple word that makes him the actual victim and not the women he used and abused.
According to a report, Biden's senior aides have been discussing preemptive pardons for those that Donald considers his political enemies. Biden's inner circle is alarmed by Donald's choice of Kash Patel to head the FBI, who has vowed to pursue the president-elect's critics.
If you've observed Donald's behavior, the malignant narcissist can't handle even the slightest bit of criticism, and some politicians like Adam Schiff are in his crosshairs, and so is Liz Cheney, both of whom exposed him for his crimes.
