Summary

Story summary

Colorado attorneys must certify they will not share personal information with federal immigration enforcement to access court e-filing system under the Protect Civil Rights Immigration Status Act (2025).
Critics, including attorney Ian Speir, argue the policy unlawfully compels lawyers to support anti-federal sanctuary policies.
The Colorado Judicial Department says the certification takes effect March 30, and the act restricts civil arrests at courthouses and limits military intervention without state permission.
