US EditionColorado Attorney General Launches Online Tool to Report Misconduct by Federal Agents, Such as ICE
Colorado's new tool allows residents to report alleged federal agent misconduct, aiding accountability efforts amid rising concerns of enforcement overreach, Weiser said.
- On Wednesday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser rolled out a new online platform for residents to report misconduct by federal officers through the Colorado Department of Law public complaint filing system.
- After local and national episodes such as the Durango probe and Minnesota footage, the rollout follows shootings including Renee Good and a Jan. 12 encounter with a masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minnesota.
- Officials say the tool solicits reports of possibly unlawful federal actions and warns filings may not trigger state action, with the online reporting form asking for images, details and questions about other law enforcement at the scene.
- Spokesman Lawrence Pacheco said the office has already received complaints and expects the tool to streamline reporting, supporting accountability as reports may be shared with the Colorado congressional delegation and local district attorneys.
- The Attorney General's Office says each report is key to its data collection and may identify patterns amid federal officers' apartment raids, courthouse arrests, and a federal judge's finding of illegal arrests.
