George Brauchler on Polis political play on Peters, lawsuit against governor over U-Visas

George Brauchler, 23rd district attorney finally gets his phone to work and checks in on the Tina Peters case with strong hints from Governor Polis that he will be granting her and other elderly incarcerated persons clemency in the coming days or weeks.

Also, George and Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly have filed a lawsuit against Governor Polis challenging the constitutionality of a Colorado statute governing the certification of federally issued U-Visas. At issue is a state law addressing U-Visas, a tool for local law enforcement officers and prosecutors to seek temporary legal status from federal immigration officials for non-citizen crime victims and witnesses who are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of those crimes.
