Aurora police do not ask for immigration status and a resolution passed by City Council affirming the city is not a “sanctuary jurisdiction” doesn’t change that, Mayor Mike Coffman writes.reiterated a tired, old, inaccurate trope that Aurora’s police department “will check the immigration status of people and tell ICE what it wants and needs to know for potential deportation cases.” This is patently wrong and misleading.
Contrary to the editorial board’s assertions on March 3, the resolution passed by the Aurora City Council on Feb. 26 is about us being good stewards of taxpayer dollars, not demonizing people seeking a better life. To conflate the issues is not only inaccurate but unfair, especially in a community that welcomes residents from across the globe. This is not an either-or situation.
As our residents and other people across the metro area know, we are exceedingly proud of Aurora’s identity as the most diverse and global city in the state and region. There’s a reason we call Aurora “The World in a City.” We value our immigrant communities greatly and have strong working relationships with each of them. For many years, we have expressed unwavering support for immigration through established immigration channels.
