First Known Arrest of Migrant Family Inside Colorado Courthouse
- After their immigration hearing on Thursday morning at Denver Immigration Court, authorities took into custody a man, woman, and child who had been present for the proceeding.
- The detention followed Judge Tyler Wood dismissing the family's removal case, part of a May 19 order directing attorneys to dismiss cases before arrests.
- This action is a local example of a nationwide Trump administration strategy involving mass courthouse detentions, including migrants without criminal records or legal representation.
- Emily Brock said agents, who did not initially identify themselves but showed badges, told the family, "You are coming with us," before escorting them to a vehicle.
- Advocates warn this new enforcement undermines due process and fuels fear, with detainees taken despite dismissal orders, signaling intensified immigration crackdowns nationwide.
