Glenwood Springs residents are urging city officials to employ zoning and other municipal tools to limit ICE operations. The proposal would target commercial zones that could be used for ICE facilities, and the city is exploring land‑use regulations as a potential barrier to federal immigration enforcement presence.
The strategy is considered a longshot, and early attempts have yielded mixed outcomes. City council members are reviewing proposals that could restrict the use of certain properties for ICE operations. The Colorado Sun reports on the community’s efforts and the challenges faced in using local powers to influence federal activities.
