‘YOUR DAY WILL COME’: Democrat Vows Retribution Against ICE While Sponsoring Bill to Block Agents From Getting Jobs
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
The White House has joined with the top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives in condemning bills seeking to prevent any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent from joining state and local police, and to make ICE agents liable for alleged violations of constitutional rights.
“ICE officers are facing a 1300% increase in assaults because of dangerous, untrue smears by elected Democrats,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “Recently, an officer had his finger bitten off by a radical left-wing rioter.”
“ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities—local officials should work with them, not against them,” Jackson added. “Anyone doing otherwise is simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.”
Jarvis Caldwell, the Republican minority leader in the Colorado House, told The Daily Signal that Democrats are “advancing bills that put Colorado in direct conflict with federal law enforcement and expose our state to serious legal and financial consequences.”
Two Colorado Bills
Caldwell condemned HB26-1275, which forbids law enforcement officers from concealing their identities and directly targets agents with ICE and Customs and Border Protection.
The bill states that the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board “shall deny certification to a person who has previously been employed or who is currently employed by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency or United States Customs and Border Protection agency.” This would prevent former ICE and CBP officers from joining state and local police forces in the Centennial State.
Caldwell warned that the bill “strips verification from qualified officers simply for prior federal service and invites confrontation between state and federal authorities.”
Another bill, SB26-005, which passed the Colorado Senate last week, would allow people to sue federal immigration agents in Colorado for allegedly violating rights secured by the U.S. Constitution.
The legislation “opens the door to costly lawsuits by eliminating longstanding immunities and creating broad new liability tied to immigration enforcement,” Caldwell said.
“These proposals are extreme, legally questionable , and will ultimately burden taxpayers instead of making our communities safer.”
The Daily Signal reached out to the House and Senate sponsors of both bills. Neither responded by publication time.
‘Your Time Will Come’
Rep. Yara Zokaie, a Democrat who sponsored both bills, has repeatedly warned ICE agents that they will face penalties for what she calls “atrocities.”
“My message to individual ICE agents: You may have skated by without accountability while we have a lunatic in the White House, but your day will come … and ‘I was just following orders’ will not be a viable excuse,” she declared in January.
“Every day that you enforce cruelty in our state is another day we will use to judge you, and all of us will make sure you are held accountable,” she added.
Zokaie repeated the message last month, saying, “‘I was just following orders’ is no excuse for committing atrocities.” She delivered the speech in front …
