Colorado State Patrol to begin helping enforce immigration laws

DENVER — A new unit of the Colorado State Patrol will help enforce federal immigration laws starting July 1 now that 22 troopers have completed a five-week training program. The troopers will do “limited immigration law enforcement” under an agreement with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, the patrol said Tuesday in a written statement. The troopers will “identify and remove” illegal immigrants involved in criminal activity, the patrol said. The Colorado patrol is the 17th law enforcement agency nationwide with a working agreement with ICE. The federal agency has trained more than 270 officers under the program.
