Colorado Amendment 81 would require police to alert ICE after charges
Original: Amendment 81: Colorado police, prosecutors would be forced to alert ICE after filing certain charges
A proposed measure on Colorado's ballot, Amendment 81, would require local police and prosecutors to notify federal immigration authorities after filing certain criminal charges. The proposal is drawing debate in the state, with supporters arguing it strengthens cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and critics warning it could discourage immigrants from reporting crimes or cooperating with local law enforcement.
Why now: It is on the Colorado ballot and touches the contentious national debate over local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
