Under Duress: Colorado Demands Lawyers Promise Not to Aid Feds on Immigration or Be Locked Out of System

Lawless Colorado continues to be lawless.

Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law.

If attorneys don't agree to not work with federal immigration authorities, they can't e-file their client's cases. They basically can't work. If they want to serve clients and work their cases, they are basically held hostage. 

This is blatantly illegal. https://t.co/R5auplUKRy

Hopefully, some attorney is fighting this already.

Colorado is requiring all lawyers in the state to swear under penalty of perjury not to collaborate with the federal government in enforcing immigration law.

This is an actual revolt against federal authority and should be treated accordingly. https://t.co/IuS9Qz6RKk

Almost sounds like sedition.

At this rate SCOTUS might as well have branches in Colorado and California https://t.co/6mPUQd5r7d

At minimum the Supreme Court Justices need housing and transportation out West and maybe they can address a whole bunch of crazy at one time.

This guy has a good point. If we must agree under duress to oppressive technocrat or corporatocracy nonsense we should at least be able to indicate we’re doing so with objections. https://t.co/Qa6thgUuTy

Oh, they're fine with authoritarians when it's authoritarians they like. 

Seditious conspiracy is the root of the Democrat party so… https://t.co/4iR4eVHoLf

Colorado is a dystopian hellscape.

Don’t ever let your state vote blue.

You’ll never outlive the regret. https://t.co/LcTS75r9SM

Vote every time the polls are open, even if you don't love the GOP candidate. Just go vote. 

Colorado apparently is intent on becoming an authoritarian if not totalitarian state. They were just slapped down by the Supreme Court for their attempt to silence the free speech of counselors. They previously tried to suppress the free speech rights of bakers. Now they are… https://t.co/uqjt1fd8Hm

They do this nonsense because they know it will take a long time to make it to the court, so they're betting they can get away with it for a while.

Your reminder that many Gov't officials deserve prison for their actions while in the course of their duties. https://t.co/wOHfyuNfoj

How is this legal ? Colorado has weaponized the Justice Department against lawyers unless they agree to not cooperate with Federal Immigration enforcement. @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @ICEgov @DHSgov @StephenM @POTUS https://t.co/9S8Dts6IsZ

Democrats don't care what is legal.
