Colorado Dems Vote to Rebel Against Federal Authority

 Colorado's legislature has passed a new measure that limits cooperation with federal immigration authorities, raising concerns about state defiance of federal law.

• Colorado's House approved Senate Bill 276 with a vote of 42-21 along party lines.

• The bill aims to protect immigrants by barring local and state law enforcement from allowing federal agents access to certain areas of detention centers, as well as schools and healthcare facilities without warrants.

• Additionally, it prohibits other states' National Guards from entering Colorado for enforcement actions without the governor's permission.

• Critics argue this measure primarily protects illegal immigrants and challenges the authority of federal law enforcement.

• The author, Daniel Greenfield, contends that such actions should be viewed as insurrection, as states lack the power to reject federal laws or impede federal enforcement.

The passage of Senate Bill 276 in Colorado exemplifies the growing tension between state legislation and federal authority, particularly regarding immigration enforcement. The debate continues over the limits of state power and the implications of opposing federal law.
