Colorado Attorneys Train to Support Immigrants at Aurora ICE Facility

In response to the anticipated mass deportations under the Trump administration, nearly 100 Colorado attorneys have undergone pro bono training in immigration law to represent detainees at the Aurora ICE facility, which is one of the largest in the U.S. The initiative, led by the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network, highlights the critical lack of legal representation for immigrants, with advocates noting that having an attorney significantly increases the likelihood of winning cases. Amid Trump's executive orders, which include a national emergency declaration at the southern border and efforts to revoke birthright citizenship, immigrant rights groups across the U.S. are mobilizing to counter these measures and provide support to affected communities. Leaders from various organizations emphasize the resilience of immigrant communities and their ongoing commitment to fight against oppression. California and other states are already preparing legal challenges against Trump's policies, aiming to protect the rights of immigrants. Overall, the atmosphere remains tense as community advocates gear up for a renewed battle for immigrant rights amid new federal policies.
