Overview
- A newly seated 6–4 progressive majority passed the resolution sponsored by Mayor Pro Tem Allison Coombs, expressing solidarity with Minneapolis and labeling Good’s killing “extrajudicial.”
- The measure directs management to curtail cooperation with ICE and its affiliates, with next steps slated for a February public safety committee meeting, and it notes Colorado law already restricts local participation in immigration enforcement.
- Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain warned the move could make the city more vulnerable to crime, while stressing APD does not enforce federal immigration laws or honor civil detainers and will maintain broader law‑enforcement partnerships.
- The resolution cites alleged detainee health problems at Aurora’s ICE facility and references a reported arrest of a single father during a daycare drop‑off as examples of local concerns.
- Federal authorities are investigating the shooting by ICE agent Jonathan Ross; the administration argues he fired in self‑defense, a claim disputed by Democrats and activists.
