Recent Legislation Limiting Local Government Cooperation with Federal Immigration Authorities
Municipal officials and employees should take immediate steps to familiarize themselves with the requirements of Colorado Senate Bill 25-276, the Protect Civil Rights Immigration Status bill (the “Act”), and particularly the provisions applicable to municipalities codified primarily at C.R.S. §§ 24-74-101, et seq., and 24-76.6-101, et seq. The Act, which became law on May 23, 2025, significantly expands existing prohibitions on voluntary cooperation by state officials with federal immigration enforcement efforts and extends their applicability to political subdivisions, including municipalities and municipal law enforcement agencies.
