Fed-up Denver suburbs are looking to sue their big sanctuary city neighbor and the state government after suffering strained budgets and crime after 42,000 migrants [illegal aliens] flocked to Colorado - bringing the violent gang Tren de Aragua with them.

Most recently, the council for the city of Castle Rock – just south of Denver – unanimously voted to research legal options against its largest neighbor...

The vote came amid a wave of other suburbs that have voted to sue, or to look into suing over the migrant [illegal alien] crisis in Colorado...

The goal: reverse policies and laws that made Denver a haven for the tens of thousands of illegal migrant - most of them from Venezuela...

Meanwhile, Douglas County, where Castle Rock is located, has joined a group of six Colorado counties suing the state and Democratic Gov. Jared Polis over laws they claim limit their ability to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)...

The lawsuit against the state challenges two laws: one that stops law enforcement from detaining a person based on their immigration status, and another that prevents counties from allowing ICE to use their jails.
