Addressing the incident on Thursday, Mes Todd Rowell’s Sheriff said that a 19-year-old elderly Caroline Diaz-Gankolns was dragged to traffic stop on June 5 after she allegedly rode too close to the semicircle. While Diaz Hankalva was released after about 20 minutes, federal immigration agents stopped it and arrested it shortly afterwards.

Zink was located for three weeks of unpaid vacation, and Olson was located for two weeks of unpaid vacation, Rowel said. Both were removed from the operative group.

Two executives were also disciplined, with one suspended without payment in two days and the other received a reprimand. The third leader received a consultation.

“The management of the Mes County Sheriff should not have played any role in the chain of events leading to Miss Diaz-Gankalva’s detention, and I regret it happened. I apologize for Miss Diaz-Gankals,” Rowel said.

Rasenki sued the new state legislation signed by Democrats, Jaard Pole, about two weeks before the arrest of Diaz-Honakals. This measure prohibits local self -government staff, including law enforcement agenciesfrom sharing information about people with federal immigration officials.

Previously, only state institutions were forbidden to share such information.

The law is one of the several years, which limits the state’s participation in law enforcement. This has led to a lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice, which claims that security policy violates the US Constitution or federal immigration laws.

Rowel said the members of the Operational Addiction Group from other law enforcement agencies, including Colorado, also shared information with immigration agents in the signal chat, although the state patrol has denied the allegations.

“Currently, the lawsuit filed by the Prosecutor General’s Office is sending a demoralized message from law enforcement officers across Colorado – that the law can be selectively and publicly possessed by the maximum political effect, and not to apply rather and consistently,” he said.
