Colo. AG Weiser on Boulder Attack Suspect’s Family: ‘We Shouldn’t Be Targeting People ... Based on Fear’

‘They may have a claim for asylum, they may not’

EXCERPT:

WEISER: “Expedited removal is a rare, but it's a constitutional procedure. The critical fact of our immigration system is we have a backlog of over a million people who've gone through procedures like this who haven't yet actually been deported, that's where our focus should be when we talk about immigration, the climate of fear we're in with so many people who are in a range of different statuses are being targeted often in haphazard ways and obviously we've talked a lot about the now due process. This procedure will go forward and if the individuals don't have any basis for staying here they can be removed, as long as the procedure goes forward under the rule of law, under due process of law. That's how our system works.”
