Last Tuesday, District Court Judge Scott Sells released an order granting the sheriff’s motion to dismiss the most recent lawsuit.
Last June, the ACLU filed their second lawsuit against the sheriff’s office claiming that the department’s participation in the 287g federal immigration program was against a new law enacted at the state level and the state’s constitution. The organization named six Teller residents in the suit claimed that the sheriff was using taxpayer dollars to fund the participation in the immigration program which was illegal.
