A motion from the ACLU to file a preliminary injunction against the Teller County Sheriff’s office was denied by a district judge on Monday.
It revolved around the county jail holding an inmate for immigration and customs enforcement.
The judge ruled that sheriff Jason Mikesell has the legal authority to cooperate with ICE and the department can detain anyone that ICE has issued an arrest warrant for.
The ACLU says they plan to appeal the decision.
