Gov. Jared Polis signed a new law Friday to further limit federal immigration authorities’ access to public buildings in Colorado and local governments’ ability to share information with those authorities.

Under Senate Bill 276, local governmental entities and their employees cannot share personal identifying information with federal authorities, unless required to by a subpoena or warrant. Public buildings — from government buildings to libraries and public schools — must adopt policies preventing immigration enforcement from entering nonpublic areas of buildings without a warrant.

Jails also cannot delay a person’s regularly scheduled release for immigration purposes.

The bill, backed by Democratic lawmakers, was a direct response to President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration — a mass wave of arrests and deportations that Trump previewed during an October rally in the state. Immigration raids have since unfolded in metro Denver, including the arrest of a prominent activist.

The Trump administration is suing the state — and the city of Denver — over previous laws limiting interaction with federal authorities. That lawsuit was announced as lawmakers were actively debating SB-276. It remains ongoing.

“This is a testament to Colorado’s unwavering commitment to ensuring fundamental human dignity and building trust, safety and respect,” Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat and one of the bill’s sponsors, said in a statement.

“ … Nearly every Democrat in the General Assembly voted to affirm that the division, fearmongering, and chaos coming from the Trump administration will not deter us. May history remember those who stepped up to fight to affirm constitutional protections for all Coloradans and those who did not.”
