Judge again blocks Polis from complying with ICE subpoena for migrant sponsors' data
Apr 21, 2026·Location: Denver, CO
A Denver judge for the second time barred Governor Jared Polis from ordering state employees to comply with an ICE subpoena seeking personal information of 13 Coloradans, 10 of whom were named in an earlier request. The judge rejected ICE's claim that a March 2026 resubmission was part of a criminal human trafficking investigation, finding it merely attempted to correct deficiencies in the original April 2025 subpoena by waiting nearly a year to recharacterize the request.
