Cities are not authorized to share resources and services other than that. "As far as the city providing direct resources to ICE, that's prohibited by Colorado law, and also the city is prohibited from providing any law enforcement resources to the extent that they are immigration detainers."
At Loveland City Council tonight city atty told councilors Colorado law lets municipalities work with ICE on warrants signed by a fed judge, where a crime is alleged, but not if it is solely an immigration matter.
Here's our story on the Loveland man arrested by federal agents, including Immigration Customs and Enforcement, in Loveland Tuesday morning. “We are devastated," his daughter told reporter @austinfleskes.bsky.social trib.al/aiUZ5c9

The signature-taker could not explain how recalling Krenning would increase fire safety, only a vague claim that Krenning did not support the fire department.
I keep hearing Loveland councilors talk about the 2K people who signed a petition to recall Troy Krenning. I had someone w/ a petition knock on my door during the Alexander Mtn Fire, asking me to sign to a petition for fire safety. When I asked for specifics it was a Krenning recall petition.

I covered Wreaths Across America in Loveland. About 200 people turned out on a chilly Saturday morning to honor vets they probably never met. I even got a hug when I told one that my father had served in WWII, the Korean Conflict and Vietnam.
