Colorado
Entries whose effect landed somewhere in Colorado (CO) — a city, a county, a campus, a detention facility — whichever government acted. Federal conduct inside Colorado counts here.
This is not the same set as Colorado's jurisdiction page, which records the 4 entries where Colorado's own government was the acting authority, wherever those events happened. The two overlap and neither contains the other: place and power are separate facts, and statewide acts appear there and not here.

Colorado Newsline reported ICE held protected T-visa applicant 120+ days, then released him out of state without ID
Colorado Newsline reported on August 31, 2026 that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement held Rudy Villeda Mejía, a Honduran national with a pending T-visa application, at its Aurora, Colorado facility for more than 120 days despite a May 2026 federal court order barring ICE from detaining pending T-visa applicants. ICE transported him to a staging facility in Louisiana in early August, and shortly after his arrival a judge ordered his release on August 3 and barred his re-detention, but ICE released him there without his passport or work permit, leaving his family and attorney unable to locate him for a period before he was able to return home.
ICE and GEO Group denied an elderly priest in Aurora detention adequate testing for suspected tuberculosis and cancer symptoms
Colorado Newsline reported August 14, 2026 that Edward Nalwamba, a 78-year-old retired Anglican priest from Uganda held at the GEO Group-run Aurora ICE Processing Center since September 2025, has become severely malnourished, wheelchair-bound after a fall, and continues to present chest pain and a chronic cough consistent with tuberculosis, along with an elevated prostate-specific antigen level suggesting possible cancer. His attorney says the facility has provided only cough medicine and no sputum culture, specialist workup, or other follow-up testing despite a positive TB skin test taken when he entered custody. Colorado public-health officials separately confirmed at least one active tuberculosis case at the same facility and issued orders requiring GEO's cooperation with their investigation.

ICE re-arrests El Gamal family at first check-in, attempts deportation in defiance of federal release order
On April 25, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents re-arrested Hayam El Gamal and her five children at the family's first required post-release check-in in Colorado Springs, two days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery of the Western District of Texas ordered them freed pending their asylum proceedings. ICE routed the family onto a flight bound for Michigan and told them they would be deported to Egypt; the plane reversed course mid-air only after Judge Biery and U.S. District Judge Nina Wang of Colorado issued emergency orders Saturday evening directing that the family not be removed. The mother and her five children — held at the Dilley, Texas family detention center for more than ten months and never charged with any crime — were released again just after midnight on April 26.
Colorado Springs police officers tased suspect and threatened to kill him during 2025 arrest, federal judge found
On June 17, 2025, Colorado Springs officers Ryan Paine, Daniel Mork, and Kirby chased and arrested Anthony Miranda following a theft call, tasing him at least five times while Officer Kirby pressed his service weapon to Miranda's head and threatened to kill him as he lay pinned face-down. In an August 24, 2026 suppression order, U.S. District Senior Judge William J. Martínez found the tasing and death threat had rendered Miranda's statements from that phase of the encounter involuntary and suppressed them, while separately upholding the legality of the initial stop and Miranda's later, Mirandized statements.
