The state of Colorado is reportedly requiring lawyers in the state to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities to enforce immigration law to use the state's e-filing system.
The requirement covers all attorneys, even those who don’t practice immigration law, according to reports on social media.
The user certification says: “I certify under penalty of perjury that I will not use or disclose personal identifying information, as defined by C.R.S. statute 24-74-102(1), obtained from this database for the purpose of investigating for, participating in, cooperating with, or assisting in federal immigration enforcement, including enforcement of civil immigration laws and 8 U.S.C. sec. 1325 or 1326, unless required by federal or state law or to comply with a court-issued subpoena, warrant, or order.”
Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law.

Democrat-run cities such as Chicago provide a sanctuary to hide illegal aliens. But the entire state of Colorado apparently doesn't want attorneys who are sworn to uphold the law to adhere to federal immigration laws.
This is blatantly illegal. https://t.co/R5auplUKRy

Colorado is requiring all lawyers in the state to swear under penalty of perjury not to collaborate with the federal government in enforcing immigration law.

Colorado is in an open rebellion against the US. Perhaps they were emboldened after seeing how Minnesota's open rebellion was treated https://t.co/AOETWotDrm
This entire Colorado law is insane.

SOLELY focused on protecting unlawfully present people in the state.
Just one of many sections condoning illegals.
