Amendment 81 would force local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

 

This measure denies due process. An accusation, not a conviction,
is enough to upend a person’s and their family’s life, if they cannot
immediately prove their citizenship status.

Cooperating with ICE would be catastrophic, given the complete
immunity under which the agency is operating. Colorado authorities are
able to handle crimes — committed by legal residents or not — and there
is no need to bring in federal authorities.

With ICE’s history of detaining legal residents, this measure will likely
lead to individuals who are innocent or legal residents being turned over
to ICE. This will lead to chaos, confusion, and catastrophic consequences
for Coloradans.
