Colorado Democrats extend their middle fingers to the victims of illegal-alien drunk drivers and illegal-alien child molesters.

The “Fundamental Change” has reached Colorado. Now they only observe the laws they choose just like Obama and Holder.

No more immigrants will be held in the jails because the stoner state needs drug mules to keep the weed supply up for the tax money they receive from it.
Ain’t gubment grand.

Despite the ACLU’s backing of this, and their primary intent being to aide illegals, there’s a silver lining that I don’t think they intended.

While the downside is that some illegals are getting a get out of jail free pass—and I do have a problem with that—I have a bigger problem with the feds treating local sheriffs as their personal hired hands. I like the autonomy the locals exercised here. This precedent is going to come in handy down the line, many times over, imho.

This is not just about ICE. If ICE can order local LEO around and demand they do this or don’t do that, so can Homeland Security, ATF, the IRS, EPA or, given the way things are going, even the Oval Office. The precedent these sheriffs set is, imho, far more valuable to the principles of liberty than this one issue—frustrating as it may be.

I agree. What SHOULD be happening is the county sheriffs, on their own, being able to check immigration status and charge them and hold them to turn over to ICE. However, that is never going to happen.

Actually, the sheriffs did choose to uphold the law. They did not pick and choose. It was the federal government that was trying to get them to do the wink and nod thing.

If ICE can require local law enforcement to detain someone contrary to law, then so can any other Federal agency, at their whim. Just a phone and a pen. No thanks. There's enough of that going around.

Exactly. Local law enforcement is denied that authority because the federal gov’t has neither desire nor intent to enforce existing deportation laws.

Illegals are a protected class. Laws don’t apply to them.

They operate outside the framework of society.

Thanks.

The initial reactions are understandable, though, given the way it was reported. Local sheriffs cave to ACLU. Some days, I would have left the story in disgust, on first glimpse of ACLU claiming victory (and been right 95% of the time)—in the same way I flip channels when Karl Rove comes on. I suppose he accidentally says or does something once in awhile that’s an inadvertent net gain for the country, too.

A lot of knee-jerking from the dopey warriors and authoritarians.
