June 4, 20252025.06.10 Amended Complaint - Moss v. Polis
An employee in the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) sued Governor Jared Polis in state court. According to the complaint, Governor Polis had ordered state employees to comply with an April 24, 2025, ICE subpoena to the CDLE seeking information about sponsors of unaccompanied minors. The suit argues that the Governor's directive violates Colorado’s prohibition on the disclosure of personally identifying information for federal immigration enforcement.
An amended complaint was filed on June 10, 2025, to add as additional plaintiffs the Colorado AFL-CIO and Towards Justice, a nonprofit serving and advocating for low-wage and immigrant workers in Denver; the amended complaint is the version included here. Moss v. Polis, 2025CV32001.
