The Trump administration has sued the state of Colorado and the city of Denver for interfering in federal immigration enforcement.
The lawsuit, filed on Friday, notes that “the United States has well-established, preeminent, and preemptive authority to regulate immigration matters,” and accuses state and city officials of violating the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution by trying to prevent federal agencies from performing their rightful duties, the Associated Press reported.
The lawsuit states that “sanctuary” policies pushed by state and local authorities have led to the interference.
Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) also blasted Colorado for allowing members of the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to take hold of an apartment complex in Aurora, a suburb of Denver.
Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) is named as one of the defendants in the DOJ lawsuit, along with the state legislature, Denver’s Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston, and the state’s Democrat Attorney General Phil Weiser.
Polis’s office said it would follow the law but would not bend just because of the lawsuit. {snip}
