Colorado gave records to ICE four times since February in response to subpoenas, including once by mistake

The Colorado Sun: State agencies under Gov. Jared Polis have provided federal immigration officials with Coloradans’ personal information in response to four subpoenas since February.

Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for Polis, said Tuesday that three of the four subpoenas were related to criminal investigations and the state mistakenly responded to the fourth.

Colorado law prohibits state agencies from providing personal information to federal immigration officials unless it is related to a criminal investigation. A judge found last month that an ICE subpoena the governor’s office sought to respond to did not meet that exception after a state employee sued to halt the disclosure.
