Rep. Polis Floor Speech Against Racial Profiling Caused by the 287(g) Program

In a floor speech on Wednesday October 21st, Rep. Jared Polis spoke out against partnerships between local law enforcement agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"287(g) scares victims and witnesses of crimes to avoid contacting police for fear of being mistreated. 287(g) invites exploitation by those who know that they won’t be reported to police, because it combines the contradictory duties into the same police force."
