## Resource

Three Republican lawmakers are seeking records from Denver and Boulder regarding their sanctuary policies, focusing on communications with ICE and internal documents. They believe these policies prioritize undocumented immigrants over American citizens, potentially endangering public safety. The lawmakers cite Colorados high human trafficking cases as evidence, linking it to sanctuary policies hindering cooperation between local and federal agencies. The Denver Sheriffs office, however, stands by their policies, asserting they follow the law and prioritize community protection. This situation reflects a broader debate, with seventeen states and Washington D.C. having statewide policies shielding undocumented immigrants with criminal records. The lawmakers requests are part of a push to examine and potentially alter sanctuary policies nationwide, emphasizing their perceived impact on public safety and federal immigration enforcement.
