Yeah, this bullshit should be gotten rid of. It is abused all of the time and is just another loophole. Archive: https://archive.today/AeAkc From the post: >>The U.S. Department of Justice wants to join a local lawsuit challenging a 2021 Colorado law that sought to streamline the process for crime victims who are not U.S. citizens to apply for legal status within the country. Attorneys with the Office of the Attorney General filed a motion Tuesday to join with Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly and 23rd Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler in their January lawsuit against Gov. Jared Polis and other state officials over the law. The local officials argued that the state law unduly limits law enforcement officers’ discretion when crime victims apply for what is known as a U visa, a visa set aside for non-citizen victims of crime who cooperate with law enforcement and meet other conditions. The Department of Justice called Colorado’s law “deeply unfair” and argued in the motion to intervene Tuesday that the federal government’s law supersedes state law.
