This new facility will not only nearly double the number of detention beds, but is in a rural location, far from the organizations that offer resources and oversight. I will continue to push for necessary guardrails, critical reforms, and work towards preventing the opening of this facility.

We have seen a complete failure by the Trump Administration in operating ICE detention centers with any decency, accountability or transparency. I’m extremely disheartened they are taking the next step in setting up a new Colorado facility in Hudson.
Congress passed a War Powers Resolution to stop his reckless war of choice – yet Trump continues to ignore it.
Iran’s hardline regime is the only winner as Trump keeps digging the hole deeper.
I send my deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved them, and my profound gratitude to all the firefighters who remain on the frontlines.
Today, we honor the lives of Emily Watson, Nick Hutcherson, and Sydney Watson. They gave the ultimate sacrifice while keeping Colorado safe from the Knowles Fire.
At a time of division and distrust, our task is the same as those who came before us: strengthen our democracy, expand opportunity, and choose the common good over division.
Happy Independence Day, Colorado.
Happy Fourth of July, Colorado!
As America marks 250 years and Colorado celebrates 150 years of statehood, we're reminded that our country has always been one of progress through perseverance.
As many communities continue to face wildfire danger, please celebrate responsibly, follow local fire restrictions, and thank the firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel working through the holiday to keep Colorado safe.
Wishing all Coloradans a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend.
Whether you're celebrating at the Greeley Stampede, cheering on the Rockies at Coors Field, or heading to a local parade or festival, I hope you're able to spend time with family, friends, and loved ones this holiday weekend.
Today’s decision is a setback for LGBTQ+ Americans and another cruel step in President Trump’s Supreme Court targeting transgender people.

Birthright citizenship is a cornerstone of our Constitution and rests on the belief that all Americans are equal under the law.
Read my full statement on today's Supreme Court decision to protect birthright citizenship against Trump’s heinous attacks ⬇️
We are wishing the injured firefighters a full recovery and thanking everyone—firefighters, first responders, volunteers, and local officials—still on the front lines working to keep Coloradans safe.
To all those affected by the fires burning across our state, know that Colorado stands with you.
Our hearts are with the families, loved ones, and communities grieving the loss of Emily Barker, Nick Hutcherson, and Sydney Watson, three wildland firefighters who gave their lives protecting others.
Today, I attended a fire briefing with local, state, and federal officials in Fruita to ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to battle the devastating Snyder Fire in western Colorado.
While SCOTUS limited Trump’s ability to fire Lisa Cook, the President has vowed to continue his efforts. We cannot allow this dangerous erosion of Fed independence to continue.
Instead of taking responsibility for his disastrous economic policies that have devastated Coloradans, the President instead made it his mission to undermine the Federal Reserve.
This sets a dangerous precedent for agencies Congress established to be independent. By allowing Trump to remove Rebecca Slaughter from the FTC, the Court has seriously weakened the ability of federal agencies to act free from undue influence from the President and political party in power.
Today, SCOTUS has given the green light to President Trump to fire nearly any Senate-confirmed official he wants without cause.
In a victory for voters — especially servicemembers, college students, and Americans abroad — the Court reaffirmed what millions of Americans across the country have come to expect: that ballots postmarked by Election Day and received soon after still count.
Today, the Supreme Court upheld the ability of states to set their own election laws.
