Zoning Non-enforcement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just off Main Street in downtown Hudson, the burgers and fried tacos at the End of the Trail restaurant are enough for most locals. It would be hard for the town’s 1,600 residents to support much more. Located roughly thirty miles northeast of Denver, Hudson is bisected by I-70, which leaves Denver, meanders around its sprawling airport, then veers off into Nebraska, passing Hudson along the way. Few people stop.But if ICE gets its way lots more will be forced to. As part of its nationwide push
Citation Shortcut (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In law, attribution is everything. Lawyers sprinkle written briefs with citations to statutes and constitutional provisions.

A private prison company is dealing with tuberculosis in the state’s third-largest city, but last month a federal court gave it a big win in its
Immigration Jailing Policy Nears Supreme Court (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As part of the Trump administration’s hardline approach to migrants, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has ramped up the number of people it detains. Soon, the Supreme Court may decide whether one of the administration’s preferred tactics is legal. In separate cases, the Justice Department and attorneys for migrants have asked the justices to decide whether ICE can detain migrants who have been living in the United States without the gover
