Overview

• A judge dismissed Attorney General Phil Weiser’s lawsuit on Thursday after Alexander Zwinck’s resignation took effect Tuesday, with the AG reserving the right to refile if he returns to public employment.
• State investigators say a broader probe continues into whether other officers used a multiagency Signal chat to aid federal immigration enforcement.
• Weiser’s complaint alleged Zwinck shared a photo of 19-year-old Caroline Dias Goncalves’ driver’s license and travel details during a June 5 traffic stop on I-70 near Loma, after which ICE agents arrested her.
• Mesa County previously disciplined five deputies, including three weeks’ unpaid leave for Zwinck and his removal from a drug task force, and Sheriff Todd Rowell issued a public apology and ordered additional training.
• Colorado law restricts local participation in civil immigration enforcement, and Dias Goncalves was held about two weeks at the Aurora detention center before release on bond, with an asylum case pending.
