Realistically, can 24 additional people make much of a difference in stemming the flow of human smuggling and trafficking into Colorado?
Yes. The cooperative work of ICE and Colorado’s state troopers will provide enhanced immigration enforcement in the state. In addition, these troopers will serve as a resource for their fellow state troopers, all of whom will receive basic training in immigration law, human trafficking and human smuggling. Additionally, by strengthening the Patrol’s ability to conduct immigration enforcement, we will improve traffic safety, interdict criminal activity, and increase homeland security throughout Colorado.
