Yikes! DPS Misunderstands Immigration Policy, DOJ Says

Earlier this month (Feb 12), Denver Public Schools requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from removing schools' designation as sensitive locations.

The change allows immigration enforcement actions into sensitive locations, such as schools, and it is part of the Trump Administration's crackdown on illegal immigration and migrant crime which, of course, upsets Colorado officials.

But it's popular with the people. In a report intended to convince the public that Trump's agenda is unpopular, ABC News shows Trump's approval on immigration as +2. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Levitt on Tuesday, illegal border crossings are down 94% and interior arrests of illegal criminals are up 134%.

No wonder public support is increasing! And no wonder, those responsible for enabling the criminal invasion are panicking, desperate to change the narrative. In a related example, during that same White House Press Conference, legacy media figures were advocating for migrant rapists at GITMO, complaining they were being kept in "cages."

It's maximum security prison and, again, the migrants being held at GITMO are disturbed criminals.

In their response to the DPS request for a TRO, on Friday the federal government claimed that DPS misunderstood the law and prior policy, while also asserting that DPS failed to demonstrate injury.

“But the declarations from school officials appear to reflect an understanding — an incorrect one— that the 2021 Guidance had categorically prohibited immigration enforcement at schools, and the 2025 Guidance thus now permits enforcement that was previously prohibited,” DHS argued, adding, "Those officials also report that the 2025 Guidance has deprived them of the ability to guarantee students and parents that immigration enforcement would not occur at schools — a guarantee they believed was reflected in the prior guidance.”

But that's a misunderstanding, the government argued. Schools are still protected, they claimed, adding that, "certain supervisors are charged with approving Immigration and Customs Enforcement action in such areas."

The schools aren't convinced, and they're getting public support from the US Senators from Colorado. "John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet joined 19 other lawmakers to introduce a bill...designed to limit immigration arrests at locations like schools, churches and hospitals."

“Reports that ICE was blocking school buses picking up kids and preventing families from leaving their homes are deeply troubling,” Colorado Senator Hickenlooper said in a statement earlier this month. “We all want criminals off of our streets. Securing our border doesn’t require targeting children and families who have committed no crimes.”

It's hard to take longtime government officials seriously on this topic when they so completely and comprehensively failed to keep Colorado safe. As soon as immigration reform begins, they immediately set about trying to stop it.

Who exactly are they representing?

This is a developing story.

Hick is merely covering his own tail, by protecting the ~175,000 illegal aliens he and his ilk have allowed to invade Colorado.
