DOJ Sues Colorado, Denver to Overturn Sanctuary Law, Policies

The Trump administration has added Colorado and capital Denver to the list of states and municipalities the administration has sued to overturn their unlawful sanctuary laws and policies.

Filed last week, the lawsuit says the state and city are trespassing the Supremacy Clause of the federal Constitution by interfering with the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The Centennial State and Mile High City are the sixth and seventh jurisdictions targeted by the U.S. Justice Department. In February, DOJ sued New York and New York City and Illinois, Chicago, and surrounding Cook County. At the time, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned that illegal-alien sanctuaries had better lawyer up.
