Colorado's new legislative session begins amidst political uncertainty fueled by President-elect Trump's pledge to deport undocumented immigrants. Democratic lawmakers are strategizing to protect immigrant families while also pushing for stricter gun control measures.
DENVER — A new legislative session kicks off on Wednesday. Democrats once again control both chambers of Colorado’s legislature, but it’s not the kind of political environment they were hoping for when they adjourned last May.At that time, many Colorado Democrats were hoping President Joe Biden would be re-elected to a second term, ensuring a smoother relationship with the federal government. Instead, President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans are returning to power in Washington, D.C.
'We will be fighting against those bills tooth and nail and, you know, we will be supporting the initiative to deport violent criminals out of this country — that way our families are safe,” said assistant House Minority Leader, State Rep. Ty Winter, R-Trinidad.Winter said Republicans are focused on improving affordability, increasing public safety and protecting TABOR.Winter said they hope to find common ground with Democrats.
