[Oe List ...] Another contribution of Children of the Order

[Herman Greene]

My son and Joy Warner’s son works with the Colorado Immigrant Rights association. He has worked for two years on the case involved in this article. He is excited that now the Department of Justice is coming to investigate the matter and he is hopeful that a nationwide policy will grow out of this case.

​ Immigration advocates are hopeful that a new agreement between the Roaring Fork School District and three local police departments will put an end to the controversial <http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2011/10/immigration_ice_aclu_school_police_officers.php>  collaboration between school resource officers and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. But they also fear that the agreement doesn't go far enough -- and they've asked the federal Department of Homeland Security to investigate.

A letter provided to Westword confirms that the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, or CRCL, received a complaint about the issue. It says the complaint will be forwarded to the DHS Office of the Inspector General to review. If that office declines to investigate, it will be returned to CRCL for an "appropriate response" -- which could include an investigation to "find and address problems in DHS policy."

Westword has contacted DHS to ask whether the CRCL has decided to investigate. Brendan Greene with the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition and Rebecca Wallance, an attorney with the Colorado ACLU, say the CRCL has agreed to do so.
