Summary
A new report from the House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, accuses Denver and Boulder prosecutors of shielding illegal immigrants accused of violent crimes from federal authorities. The 25-page report names several individuals, including Fernando Barrios-Ramirez, accused of sexual assault on a child, and Juan Andres Holguin-Mendez, with a history of child cruelty and other offenses. The report claims Denver and Boulder officials ignored ICE detainers and provided legal guidance to suspects to avoid federal immigration proceedings. The report also highlights a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member who was released after being given only one to two hours’ notice to ICE. Boulder District Attorney John Dougherty denied the accusations, calling the report a political stunt and defending his office’s approach to criminal cases.
