Two Colorado deputies have been disciplined for sending information to federal immigration agents, which is a violation of a new state law.

the left will take all your $$, the system is the punishment.
"
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser sued Mesa County Sheriff's Deputy Alexander Zwinck last week after his cooperation with federal immigration agents on a drug task force was exposed during a Brazilian college student's arrest for an expired visa, according to The Associated Press."
from the comments
"In the end, both of these men will be paid nicely when their lawsuit against the state is won. The new law is unconstitutional, and I hope that federal agents arrest the state attorney general. Federal law has always trumped state law and that isnt going to change now. Colorado will pay a heavy price for what they have done."

Additionally, the DOJ should arrest anyone involved in punishing the deputies and charge them under
18 U.S. Code § 1513
(e) Whoever knowingly, with the intent to retaliate, takes any action harmful to any person, including interference with the lawful employment or livelihood of any person, for providing to a law enforcement officer any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of any Federal offense, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.
Federal laws have supremacy over state laws. Similar to the deputy saying he was unaware of the state law yet punished, such an excuse of ignorance to federal law and its supremacy is not a viable excuse.
