A liberal activist group in Colorado has issued a warning to sheriffs in the state, cautioning them against cooperating with President-elect Trump's mass deportation plans or with ICE officials. The ACLU of Colorado, through its executive director and legal director, has threatened personal liability and legal action against law enforcement officials in Colorado who comply with ICE requests, including detainers.
The group drew parallels between Trump's deportation plans and the Japanese internment camps of the 1940s, emphasizing potential personal legal penalties of up to $25,000 for law enforcement officers who aid in mass immigration raids or hold individuals at ICE's request.
