Denver ICE officials end instant re-arrest policy after outcry

Colorado’s acting ICE field-office director, Nathan Rasper, testified Monday that he ordered staff to re-arrest immigrants as they were released from an Aurora detention facility, then provide corrected paperwork. He said the practice was intended to address earlier arrests that had been ruled unlawful, but federal judges also found the re-arrests unlawful. Government attorneys said at least 18 people were detained again between late October and early November. The policy has since ended.
