A Colorado sheriff’s deputy is facing a lawsuit from the state’s attorney general over allegations that he aided federal immigration agents in the arrest of a college student with an expired visa.
Deputy Alexander Zwinck of the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office has been accused of unlawfully sharing the student’s personal information with federal agents, according to a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Phil Weiser.
“State law specifies that Colorado law enforcement officers are dedicated to enforcing Colorado law and do not do the work of the federal government to enforce immigration law,” Weiser said a statement.
“The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office is within one week of completing the administrative investigation into the June 5, 2025, incident involving Ms. Diaz Goncalves. We are committed to transparency in this process and, as such, once the administrative investigation is complete we will provide a formal statement,” a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told Newsweek.
