Immigration Detainers
Quezada v. Mink
In April 2010, the ACLU of Colorado and ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project filed a lawsuit in a Denver federal court against the sheriff of Jefferson County in Colorado arguing that he illegally imprisoned a Colorado resident for 47 days with no charges pending against him simply because federal immigration officers suspected that the man was in the country in violation of federal immigration laws.
