Colorado sheriffs support a bill allowing closer ties with ICE, aiming to boost public safety.

El Paso and Teller County sheriffs in Colorado are backing Senate Bill 25-047, which would allow local law enforcement to work more closely with ICE to detain undocumented immigrants accused of crimes. The sheriffs argue the bill would enhance public safety, while the ACLU opposes it, stating it could violate rights. The bill aims to reverse a 2013 mandate that restricted cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. The legislation is set to have its first hearing on February 25.
