According to Senator John Hickenlooper and other Colorado lawmakers, ICE agents left ace of spades cards—symbols historically used by white supremacist groups—in vehicles of up to 11 detainees after a January 21 enforcement action in Eagle County. Hickenlooper demanded a Department of Homeland Security meeting after ICE failed to respond to requests for information about the incident, including details on those detained and the status of an internal investigation.
