The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners expressed serious concerns over the recent violence and actions taken by ICE agents across the U.S., particularly in Minneapolis. They are supporting calls for a thorough investigation into the fatal shootings of two American citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who had ties to Colorado, as well as others who were wrongly targeted by ICE due to their race or beliefs.
The commissioners emphasized the importance of justice and accountability for any individuals who violate the law. They reaffirmed their commitment to the Constitution and condemned actions that disregard constitutional rights, including due process and free speech. The statement also highlighted the county’s commitment to protect community members from discrimination, citing instances where ICE has detained individuals based solely on race or accent.
In their message, the Commissioners praised local law enforcement for their professionalism and commitment to safeguarding both civil rights and public safety, calling for an end to fear and violence in communities across the nation.
