Judge Tosses Out ACLU’s Attempt to Stop a County from Cooperating with ICE

A judge in Colorado dismissed a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against the Teller County Sheriff’s Office that argued it was breaking the law by cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The ACLU’s Colorado chapter, suing on behalf of six people in the county in June 2019, argued that Teller County Sheriff was violating state law by entering into a 287(g) program with ICE. District Court Judge Scott Sells, however, dismissed the suit Tuesday, concluding that the plaintiffs did not have “standing to bring this lawsuit and have not suffered an injury in fact to a legally protected interest,” according to KOAA News5.
