Colorado County Bans Employees From Sharing Immigrants' Info With ICE

The Boulder County commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a new policy prohibiting county employees from providing federal immigration agents any records or information regarding residents' citizenship status unless those authorities have a warrant.

The new direction to county staffers requires them to alert a supervisor and the County Attorney's Office if any federal immigration agent contacts them seeking access to residents' immigration records or any non-public areas of county buildings.

Additionally, no county employee shall inquire about the immigration status of an individual, except when required by law, per the new instruction.
