The judge had to explain federalism to the Democrats
A federal judge in Denver this week blocked provisions of a new state law that required Colorado’s only immigrant detention center to open its doors for regular health inspections.
The Thursday decision from U.S. District Court Judge Daniel D. Domenico defangs the most immediate part of House Bill 1276, which Democratic lawmakers passed earlier this year.
Siding in large part with a request from Geo Group, the private company that runs the Aurora detention center, Domenico found that HB 1276’s provisions requiring unannounced inspections at least once every three months were preempted by federal law and Geo’s existing contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
He wrote that the newly required inspections — and a companion provision that directed Geo to pay for them — “are currently in effect, imposing actual burdens on Geo of more frequent and costly inspections.” He said the new rules were likely unconstitutional.
Hey, remember when Democrats freaked out over Arizona’s SB1070, the “show me your papers” bill, claiming that only Los Federales had the power for immigration? Also, this is a federal facility: the state has zero authority over it.
Domenico noted that Geo’s contract with ICE is due to expire Oct. 15. He set his injunction to end on that date because the “provisions of any new contract that GEO (or another operator) obtains from the federal government may alter the analysis significantly, or make proceeding further with this case unnecessary at all.”
Why are Democrats so hot to trot to protect illegal aliens, including gang members, murderers, and child predators?
Don’t worry: the Democrats will be all for federalism once the next Democrat wins the presidency.

What??? States have no right to inspect facilities within their boundaries??? So Krazy Donny could order the inmates receive only crackers and water?
Judge Domenico was appointed by Donny and plays for the Federalist Society.
Rimjob: What??? States have no right to inspect facilities within their boundaries???
Thanks for the question, dumbfuck.
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
The MAGA Motherfucker copies & pastes an AI generated comment that also misses the point.
What a fucking dumbfuck!
Remember when pre-MAGA conservatards believed states had rights? Good times.
The Trump Admenstruation even attempted to block FEDERAL oversight of their prisons!! So the federal government cannot inspect trump prisons? What are they afraid of?
A federal court stopped the Trump-Vance administration’s policy blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to federal immigration detention facilities today. The decision restores Congress’s ability to conduct real-time oversight of how the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detain individuals — including U.S. citizens — and spend billions in taxpayer dollars.
Mommy is calling!
So fatboy Rimjob doesn’t understand the doctrines of federal supremacy and intergovernmental immunity.
Might want to look it up before making a fool of yourself… oh wait, you already have.
Bwaha! Lolgf Loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
