U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has not recently conducted any large-scale raids in Denver, Colorado, on the scale of what occurred in 2019. During one operation that year, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers apprehended 63 non-citizens.1
Though even though ICE is not arresting immigrants on the scale it used to, all removable aliens or undocumented aliens remain vulnerable to being apprehended and deported at any time.
Immigrants who may have come to the United States lawfully on a visa or green card become removable if they get convicted of any of the following crimes:
Note that non-citizens who are in the U.S. illegally (undocumented) can be removed at any time even if they never commit a criminal offense and are no threat to public safety.2
ICE targets immigrants accused or convicted of:
ICE tends to ignore immigrants suspected of more low-level crimes like shoplifting or criminal mischief.
Immigrants facing removal from the U.S. are advised to hire an experienced attorney right away to help them petition for “cancellation of removal.”
Legal residents may be able to avoid deportation if they had their green card for at least five years, lived lawfully in the U.S. for at least 7 years, and were not convicted of an aggravated felony.
Visa-holders may be able to avoid deportation if they were lawfully in the U.S. for at least 10 years, have good moral character, were not convicted of certain serious offenses, and can show that removal would cause extreme hardship to their spouse, parent, or child who is either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.4
There are other possible ways immigrants can avoid deportation such as by I-601 Waivers, U-Visas, political asylum, voluntary departure, and prosecutorial discretion.

In December of 2022, Denver’s mayor declared a state of emergency due to the influx of hundreds of migrants arriving from the southern border.5
Denver is not reporting migrants to ICE or trying to expel them, but the city lacks sufficient resources to provide basic necessities. Citing lack of assistance from the federal government, the mayor has even reached out to the Archdiocese of Denver for help.6
