Federal judge rules ICE in Colorado violated order limiting warrantless arrests
The judge said ICE violated a prior injunction and ordered training for all arresting officers within 45 days.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Senior Judge R. Brooke Jackson ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Colorado violated his November order limiting warrantless arrests, ordering mandatory retraining and stricter documentation protocols.
- The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado sued the Trump administration last fall, alleging agents conducted unlawful "collateral arrests" of individuals caught up in enforcement actions rather than targeted deportations.
- During a March hearing, Jackson criticized agents who demonstrated a "shallow understanding" of legal requirements; none of the 36 arrest reports produced complied with his mandate, and ICE had "uniformly failed" to document flight risk.
- ICE must develop a "compliant training program" within 14 days; any officer not trained within 45 days is prohibited from performing warrantless arrests, and the agency must provide monthly updates to plaintiffs' lawyers.
- Similar restrictions on warrantless arrests have been ordered in Oregon, California, and Washington, D.C., and the ruling serves as a check on the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts, which have surged detentions of people without prior convictions.
