DENVER - Colorado Governor Jared Polis released a statement on the recent shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“Today’s shooting was tragic and unacceptable. There must be a full and impartial investigation into this fatal shooting in Minnesota, and full accountability for those responsible and involved. To anyone peacefully exercising your First Amendment rights, Colorado stands with you. Americans are experiencing violence and intimidation by our own government. It is unacceptable and must end. Americans are not blind and can see the dangers of the current approach and tactics from ICE,” said Governor Jared Polis.
As Governor Polis said in his state of the state address, “Today, nearly 75% of people held in immigration detention centers have no criminal history. In America in 2026, a culture of fear and chaos means families debate going to work or sending their kids to school out of fear they won't come home.”
