New Soros-Backed DA Lets Illegal Off Easy as Colorado Dems Push to Protect Them [WATCH]

A fatal crash involving an illegal alien in Aurora, Colorado, has sparked renewed scrutiny over the state’s handling of noncitizen offenders and a proposed law that critics say would further insulate illegal immigrants from accountability.

The case involves a 24-year-old woman who died two days after her vehicle was struck by a Jeep traveling 90 miles per hour in a 45-mph zone.

The driver, a 15-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia, was unlicensed and had multiple minors in the vehicle at the time.

The vehicle was uninsured, leaving the victim’s parents responsible for thousands in hospital bills.

Initially, the Arapahoe District Attorney’s Office informed the victim’s family that the driver would not be offered a plea deal and was expected to serve two years in youth corrections.

That changed when Amy Padden, who received campaign support from groups affiliated with George Soros, was elected district attorney and sworn in this January.

Under her direction, the teen received a sentence of two years’ probation and 100 hours of community service instead of jail time.

He has since filed for asylum, which, if granted, would allow him to remain in the United States.

“There is no deterrence,” the victim’s father told local media.

“We had a collision where the immigration system and the criminal justice system collided, and now my daughter is dead.”

The incident comes amid growing concern over Senate Bill 276, a piece of legislation passed by Colorado Democrats along party lines this month.

The bill prohibits state and local agencies from sharing immigration-related information with federal authorities, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

It also bars federal agents from accessing certain public facilities—such as schools, hospitals, and childcare centers—without judicial approval.

In addition, SB276 expands access to in-state tuition and driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants and provides legal avenues for noncitizens to reverse guilty pleas for certain misdemeanor crimes.

Under the bill, illegal immigrants convicted of class three misdemeanors—including charges like theft, forgery, soliciting prostitution, and drunk driving—would be allowed to withdraw their pleas if they claim they were not adequately informed by their attorneys of potential immigration consequences.

The Democratic legislators in Colorado have completely LOST THEIR MINDS. After insisting that HB 19-1124 was not a sanctuary bill, they have now introduced Senate Bill 25-276, which goes even further in protecting criminal illegal aliens.

The legislation is awaiting the signature of Democratic Governor Jared Polis.

While the young driver involved in the fatal Aurora crash would not retroactively benefit from SB276, the law would apply to any future charges he might face, including for crimes such as driving under the influence.

Opponents of the legislation argue that it prioritizes the protection of individuals in the country illegally over the safety and well-being of Colorado residents.

Supporters contend it is designed to ensure fairness and safeguard immigrant communities from what they describe as overly punitive enforcement measures.

Public opinion polls cited by critics indicate that a majority of voters, including 55% of independents, believe the Democratic Party is more focused on helping others than addressing the concerns of everyday Americans.

The case has fueled further debate over Colorado’s immigration and public safety policies as the state prepares for Governor Polis’s decision on whether to sign SB276 into law.
