Minneapolis ICE operations and deaths of two citizens have heightened fears in Colorado's 8th District, where nearly 40% of voters are Hispanic, impacting Rep. Gabe Evans's reelection bid.

  • The monthlong turmoil in Minnesota has reshaped views across Colorado's 8th District, where Republican Gabe Evans said he will question DHS officials, as the seat is a top Democratic target.
  • Never more so than in recent weeks, federal immigration officers in Minneapolis killed two U.S. citizens, including Alex Pretti who was lawfully armed and filming when shot; officials say agents used administrative warrants and masked identities.
  • Residents say they are `walking on eggshells`, with many U.S. citizens fearing racial profiling and some local families in Commerce City and Brighton considering relocation.

  • The White House doubled down on prioritizing violent criminal illegal aliens, while some Republicans, including Sen. Thom Tillis, criticized tactics and replaced Greg Bovino with Tom Homan.
