Instead of protecting our fellow community members from extrajudicial detainment and abuse, Police Chief Current and the Durango Police Department are legitimizing ICE behavior because of their fealty to the chain of command. People’s rights are violated because Chief Current chooses to uphold the law, a fact that should move an empathetic person to rethink some things.
A city resolution to protect our immigrant community is hard to take seriously when the local police chief insists on allowing ICE to kidnap and assault people of all statuses.
