Dozens of supporters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Cory Voorhis turned out Saturday to raise money to help pay for his growing legal expenses.
Voorhis, 39, was charged with three misdemeanors for improperly accessing a criminal information database and passing along the information to Bob Beauprez’s 2006 gubernatorial campaign.
The fundraiser was the fifth that’s been held for the agent. Supporters gathered in a parking lot at Gunsmoke Gunsmithing Inc. in Wheat Ridge where they donated money and enjoyed a barbecue meal.
So far about $35,000 has been raised, but Voorhis’ legal bills have climbed to $250,000, supporters said.
The immigration agent is on unpaid leave from his Immigration and Customs Enforcement job pending the outcome of his federal trial.
The married father of two children is struggling financially, supporters said.
“It’s inspirational. It’s wonderful and I’m speechless,” Voorhis said. “It uplifts my soul.”
