Jared Polis ordered Colorado labor department to turn over personal information after ICE subpoena, lawsuit claims

https://coloradosun.com/2025/06/05/ice-subpoena-colorado-jared-polis/

"A whistleblower lawsuit filed in Denver this week revealed the subpoena and the clash between the governor and a state labor director who says releasing the personal info is illegal"

"Gov. Jared Polis ordered the state labor department to turn over personal information about people who are providing homes for unaccompanied immigrant children after receiving a subpoena from the Trump administration, according to a whistleblower lawsuit filed Wednesday.

The details of the subpoena were revealed in the lawsuit filed by a director in the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment who argues that turning over the information is a violation of state law.

The April 24 subpoena from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests the unemployment benefit filings, insurance records and employer information of 35 people who are sponsors of unaccompanied minors. It also requests their addresses, as well as telephone and email contact information.

The whistleblower case was filed in state district court in Denver by Scott Moss, who is director of the state Division of Labor Standards and Statistics. It details a battle between Moss and the governor’s office in which Moss has argued since April that turning over the personal information is illegal. "
