Judge: Colorado sheriff cannot hold people for immigration

DENVER (AP) — A Colorado judge is barring a sheriff’s department from continuing to jail people suspected of being in the country illegally on behalf of federal authorities, saying that the practice violates their constitutional rights.
District Court Judge Eric Bentley ruled late Thursday that El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder has no authority to hold people once they have posted bond, completed a sentence or otherwise resolved their state case.
