EL PASO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TUESDAY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO JOIN DOUGLAS COUNTY IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE STATE OF COLORADO.. THE LAWSUIT WOULD BE AGAINST TWO STATE LAWS THAT CURRENTLY STOP LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM CONTACTING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS IF THEY ARE HOLDING A PERSON WHO HAS AN IMMIGRATION HOLD FILED AGAINST THEM. THERE ARE GROWING FEARS EL PASO COUNTY COULD SEE AN INCREASE IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COMING FROM DENVER AS THAT CITY GRAPPLES WITH THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS BEING SENT TO THE CITY FROM TEXAS. DENVER IS A SANCTUARY CITY.
