Colorado law limits state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement under HB 19-1124, restricting ICE detainers, courthouse arrests, and information sharing statewide.
House Bill 19-1124, codified at CRS 24-76.6-101 et seq. and related provisions, prohibits state and local probation officers and law enforcement from arresting or detaining a person solely on the basis of an ICE civil detainer or administrative warrant. Officers may not provide an individual's personal information to federal immigration agents for civil enforcement and must inform detainees of their rights before any voluntary ICE interview. HB 19-1054 also bars probation officers from sharing information with ICE for civil purposes. CRS 13-1-137 limits civil immigration arrests at courthouses. The framework operates statewide and preempts local ordinances attempting to deputize officers for federal civil immigration enforcement.
Officers and agencies violating HB 19-1124 may face civil liability, departmental discipline, and exposure to suits for unlawful detention beyond release time.
