Congressman Gabe Evans has doubled down on the claim that every person currently detained by ICE in Colorado deserves to be behind bars.

My Latest: Rep. Gabe Evans gets a tax break for his hobby: raising a few Longhorns. He also thinks his cows entitle him to promote himself as a "rancher." He was thinking of dropping the cow hobby - & presumbably the bovine promotion - but decided not to. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/evan...

I covered our federal delegation's response to the shooting of Renee Good. Rep. Lauren Boebert said the shooting was "absolutely justified,” but Reps. Jeff Crank and Gabe Evans were hesitant to stake out a position just yet. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/abso...

Circulators collecting signatures for Initiative #95 described it as a way to rein in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s activity in Colorado. In reality, it would force local law enforcement to share information with ICE.
