Congressman Seeks Investigation of Violent Anti-ICE Protest
Crank said assaults on journalists and counterprotesters during student walkouts warrant a federal review of whether protesters blocked others' constitutional rights.
- On Tuesday, U.S. House Rep. Jeff Crank requested a Department of Justice Civil Rights Division investigation into Colorado anti-ICE protests, addressing his letter to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon over violence concerns.
- Following violence at a September 4 demonstration at La Alma-Lincoln Park in Denver, police reported five assaults with victims hospitalized; the Colorado Youth Coalition had rallied over 150 schools against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- Citing 'assaults on journalists and counter protesters,' Crank, representing the 5th Congressional District, labeled groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and 50501 a 'real threat to law and order.'
- Denver Public Schools communications director Scott Pribble noted the district honors protest rights while emphasizing 'uninterrupted class time remains the key,' as 50501 national coordinator Sarah Parker dismissed Crank's claims as 'disingenuous.'
- Nate Marsh, a Republican candidate for the 43rd House District, argued schools should protect students' 'constitutional rights while maintaining a focused educational environment,' cautioning against encouraging political ideologies.
