House Bill 1276 and Senate Bill 5 are now on Governor Polis's desk. We've come this far and now it's time for the final push – help us urge Governor Polis to sign these crucial bills!

Colorado has already led the way in protecting immigrant communities, but as federal overreach intensifies, we must do more. House Bill 26-1276 creates model policies to ensure the government doesn’t share your personal information, mandates basic health and safety standards in detention facilities, and requires peace officers to receive training on arresting or detaining individuals on the basis of a civil immigration detainer.

Right now, if immigration officials violate someone's constitutional rights, there's no clear way for the victim to sue and get justice in a Colorado court. Senate Bill 5 creates a new path in Colorado state courts for people to sue for damages when their U.S. constitutional rights are violated during civil immigration enforcement.
