A new lawsuit from the Trump administration filed against Colorado over immigration laws hasn’t stopped Democratic lawmakers in the state House from pushing for more protections for undocumented Coloradans.
In a 42-21 party-line vote, the Colorado House on Saturday passed Senate Bill 276.
This comes just one day after the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state and the City and County of Denver for alleged interference with federal immigration enforcement.
SB25-276 seeks to enhance protections for individuals without lawful immigration status and broadens the prohibition against state law enforcement from cooperating or sharing data with federal immigration officers.
