As the Democratic Party faithful gathered in Pueblo today to nominate candidates, I set up the increasingly feisty 4-way primary for Dem AG. You can read and listen to the piece here -- spoke with @ryanhasaquestion.bsky.social about it on Colorado Matters yesterday. www.cpr.org/2026/03/27/c...

Thanks @lastweektonight.com for highlighting this story, and generally being so so menschy about giving especially local reporters credit for original fact-based journalism.

Federal judge today about ICE agents on how well trained they are. "They don't have a clue."

Feds plea for patience from a federal judge as warrantless arrests continue under a preliminary injunction banning it. The judge didn't seem very happy about it any of it. My latest: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/j...

Prosecutor’s aggressive talk about Tren de Aragua has so far produced only plea deals www.cpr.org/2026/02/17/t... via @allisonsherry.bsky.social #copolitics

Last year, Colorado's top federal prosecutor told a bank of TV cameras this prosecution crippled Tren de Aragua in Colorado. Seven months later, that tough talk is largely unfulfilled and the office is pleading out the cases. www.cpr.org/2026/02/17/t...

Gov. Jared Polis: “What took place in a Minneapolis neighborhood is deeply disturbing, and the loss of Renee Good is tragic. My thoughts are with Renee’s family, especially her young child, friends, and loved ones including those in Colorado.” Full statement ⬇️

"Trump muddles some facts, omits others from two Colorado stories to help justify U.S. raid on Venezuela." CPR Justice Reporter @allisonsherry.bsky.social will join us Monday on Colorado Matters.

Hi🖐️ -- we're still here in the cavernous, windowless courtroom in the federal building hearing arguments about whether Colorado ICE officers are illegally taking immigrants into custody and detention without assessing their flight risk.

My latest: First day of arguments in a case challenging ICE officers in Colorado and their lack of warrants in detaining non-criminal immigrants. We'll pick up at 9 am tomorrow. www.cpr.org/2025/10/30/c...

Here are my latest two stories on this growing escalation between local government officials and ICE. www.cpr.org/2025/10/29/c...

"We’re going to send a message to every Denver police officer that your employer is hanging them out to dry. We’re going to come after their personal assets, their cars, their marital estates, we’ll garnish their wages." denverite.com/2025/10/28/d...

ICYM: @cprmarkus.bsky.social and I finished this piece last week and it landed Friday amid a busy news day. We could find no evidence that ICE's claims that assaults on their agents have gone up 1,000 percent nationally. Or in Colorado. www.cpr.org/2025/10/02/i...

Claims of huge rise in assaults against ICE drive responses, but aren’t seen in available data www.cpr.org/2025/10/02/i... via @cprmarkus.bsky.social & @allisonsherry.bsky.social

Colorado mandated reporting on police violence after George Floyd's murder. Five years later, the data is mostly useless. Reporting w/ @cprmarkus.bsky.social www.cpr.org/2025/06/26/c...

Some new details in the case of accused Boulder bomb thrower -- including his defense's argument that he didn't target the demonstrators because of "national origin" which was one of the legal thresholds argued today for the hate crime charge. More here. www.cpr.org/2025/06/18/b...

This is a first for me. CO Rep. Lauren Boebert's financial disclosure for 2024 discloses nothing. No book royalties, no bank accounts, no home mortgage. (And she filed this late and had to pay a fine.) #copolitics

"The revelation contradicts a central talking point Rep. Gabe Evans made while complaining about Colorado’s laws, which prevent some information-sharing between state & local governments and federal immigration officials," reports @allisonsherry.bsky.social: www.cpr.org/2025/06/10/c...
