A Colorado judge rules warrantless immigration arrests require probable cause and flight risk, citing ACLU lawsuit.
A Colorado federal judge ruled that immigration officers may only make warrantless arrests if they have probable cause to believe a person is in the U.S. illegally and likely to flee before a warrant is issued.
The decision, from Judge R. Brooke Jackson, stems from a lawsuit by the ACLU of Colorado on behalf of four individuals, including asylum-seekers, who were arrested without warrants during a 2025 enforcement operation.
The judge found no basis for flight risk, noting strong community ties, and ordered officers to document their reasoning.
The Department of Homeland Security called the ruling "activist" and plans to appeal, citing a similar Supreme Court decision in California.
The case follows broader concerns over immigration enforcement practices, including racial profiling and expanded ICE presence.
