Castle Rock Town Council Backs Trump's Immigration Policies

The Castle Rock Town Council in Colorado has passed a resolution supporting President-elect Donald Trump's immigration policies, specifically endorsing mass deportation efforts and expressing readiness to cooperate with federal immigration officials. The resolution cites concerns over unauthorized migrants as a fiscal drain, referencing a reported $356 million spent by local agencies on migrant services. Meanwhile, in Starr County, Texas, the local government is considering an immigrant detention center, eliciting mixed reactions from residents regarding its potential economic benefits versus the community's image. Utah Governor Spencer Cox has also backed Trump's deportation plans, claiming strong support from the Latino community for addressing crime linked to undocumented immigrants. However, lawmakers across party lines in Colorado are cautioning against mass deportation, emphasizing the need for reform that does not harm innocent families and recognizing the economic contributions of immigrants. The contrast between Castle Rock's support for Trump's policies and Denver's resistance highlights the complexities of immigration issues in the state.
