Law360: Biggest Colorado Cases Of 2025
Judge Halts Warrantless ICE Arrests
Laura Lunn, director of advocacy and litigation at the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network, said that in a year when people across Colorado have been "terrorized" by mass enforcement actions and "brutal" arrests, the ruling made clear that ICE cannot conduct warrantless arrests without showing good reason.
"Having this type of very clear mandate saying that [ICE] cannot just pick people up kind of willy-nilly, which is what we have been seeing, and instead there has to be clear procedure followed that really goes into what constitutional rights people have in this country is a really critical form of protection for people," Lunn said.
