Denver's Sanctuary Policies Spark Suburban Backlash For Safety

**Crisis**
The suburbs surrounding Denver are taking a bold stand against the city's sanctuary policies, which many believe are fueling rising crime and gang activity in their communities.
The Town Council of Castle Rock recently passed a resolution to explore legal action against Denver's administration.
This decision was driven by the influx of over 42,000 immigrants, which local officials argue has strained resources and increased incidents of crime in their neighborhoods.
Castle Rock City Council member Max Brooks articulated the gravity of the situation, stating, "This isn't just a decision that Denver gets to make because it's impacting the rest of the Front Range."
Brooks emphasized that collaboration among municipalities is essential in addressing this crisis, urging nearby cities to join the lawsuit.
His remarks reflect a growing frustration as communities bear the fallout of Denver's immigration policies without any local accountability.
With reports of gang activity, including the presence of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in local apartment complexes, concerns among residents are palpable.
Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky echoed this sentiment, criticizing the lack of acknowledgment from local media and officials regarding the dangers posed by such trends.
Despite claims from Colorado Governor Jared Polis that these issues are merely “figments of imagination,” municipalities are standing firm in their resolve to protect their residents.
Earlier this year, several counties—including Douglas, El Paso, and Garfield—filed a lawsuit against Denver, citing its policies as fostering "dangerous conditions" for both residents and immigrants.
With state laws limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal agencies like ICE, critics argue that Denver's sanctuary status puts undue pressure on surrounding areas.
As the crisis evolves, Castle Rock's proactive approach showcases the urgent need for states and cities to reconsider their immigration policies to prioritize public safety.
With some communities echoing the sentiments of those in Castle Rock, it appears that the movement to challenge such sanctuary policies is gaining momentum, potentially sparking a wider sway toward accountability and proper governance in immigration matters.
