The Department of Justice sued Colorado and Denver for allegedly hindering federal immigration enforcement, claiming their 'sanctuary laws' violate the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit alleges these policies allowed a Venezuelan gang to control an Aurora apartment complex. Colorado officials deny being a sanctuary state and pledge to abide by court rulings. Similar lawsuits have been filed against Chicago and Rochester. The suit names Governor Polis, the state Legislature, Mayor Johnston, and Attorney General Weiser as defendants.
