Denver officials do not plan on fully cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they release an illegal alien who was deported six times before getting arrested for fleeing the scene of a deadly hit-and-run accident.
Juan Sanchez, a Mexican national living in the U.S. illegally, is accused of striking a pedestrian in the Denver area with a vehicle and immediately fleeing the scene. If Sanchez — who lives in a state that largely limits cooperation with ICE — is able to make bond, his release back into the community could pose another showdown between local officials and federal immigration authorities.
The City and County of Denver reiterated its position on transferring custody of illegal aliens when approached by the Daily Caller News Foundation about Sanchez’s case.
A Colorado woman, Annette Conquering Bear, was running an errand Dec. 17 when an oncoming SUV struck her while she tried to cross an intersection. The vehicle drove away without stopping, according to the Denver Police Department. A witness to the accident flagged down a nearby ambulance, but Conquering Bear was pronounced dead at the scene.

Colorado’s state government, which is under the control of the Democratic Party, has become increasingly antagonistic toward federal immigration authorities. Gov. Jared Polis, for example, signed into law in May legislation that prohibits local law enforcement from detaining a suspected illegal alien solely on the basis of an ICE request, prohibits officers from providing an illegal alien’s personal information to ICE, and requires police to read illegal aliens their Miranda rights when coordinating an ICE interview.

“Denver Sticking To Sanctuary Policy Following Arrest Of Hit-And-Run Suspect Who Was Already Deported Six Times”
Hispanic illegals higher on the victim totem pole than Native American Indians.
Round em up ship em out.
People get the government they vote for, but in this case Denver is aiding and abetting criminals who are not guaranteed to remain in Denver and take innocent lives only there. Sanctuary cities should be illegal.
Should start deporting them through a Wood chipper
Septuple down on STUPID!!!
Just terrible.
Trump should alert the people of Denver. I have an MX with the deportation hold on it from ICE. Failure to comply is not an option so you either need to hold your people accountable, or you go with them.
Sue Denver and colorado
Stop federal funding.
Funny how liberals only like ‘States Rights’ and local governance when it favors their ideology.
Wingman gotta protect the Democrat Party.
A few thousand dead citizens is acceptable collateral damage in the Dems quest to develop a new permanent voter base.
politicians first........
If only a sufficiently motivated and inventive DOJ could figure out a way to charge sanctuary city officials individually and personally.
Let me put it this way; if I or any of my close family/friends is the victim of a repeatedly deported. illegal alien criminal, people who had a hand in his freedom will be made to realize the error of their ways. I’m not stopping at the perp.
Stuck On Stupid, eh?
Round up the irresponsible authorities?
Aiding and abetting criminal fugitives.
They are accomplices to manslaughter.
US citizens should sue since they are held to a higher prosecution rate than illegal foreign nationals. What happened to equal protection under the law?
One demographic gets out of jail free. Repeatedly. Some are even cut loose at roadside traffic stops if there is belief that they may not legally be here.
