MESSAGE FROM THE SHERIFF
Sheriff Mikesell is very pleased the Teller County District Court Judge granted all of his claims while denying all of the claims asserted by the ACLU. The judge entered a lengthy and thorough ruling which is posted on the Sheriff’s website. Notably, the judge ruled that Sheriff Mikesell has the legal authority to enter into the 287(g) Agreement with ICE and concluded that entering into the 287(g) Agreement is a function of Sheriff Mikesell’s statutory duty to keep and preserve the peace in Teller County. The judge also ruled that actions taken the trained and certified Teller County Sheriff’s deputies and officers acting as Designated Immigration Officers (DIOs) do so as de facto federal officers under the supervision of ICE and that their actions are lawful and consistent with Colorado law.
This ruling allows me to continue to protect and serve this community. I would like to thank our community for all the support, our commissioners and legal services. We will continue to fight for our community. I don't believe in giving ground or backing down to those who would attempt to bully us into inaction.

Sheriff Jason Mikesell
