DA George Brauchler launches new 23rd Judicial District with tough-on-crime approach

By Olivia Young | CBS News For the first time in over 60 years, Colorado is getting a new Judicial District. The change will happen on Tuesday. For decades, the 18th Judicial District has encompassed Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. As those communities grew, the district became the largest in the state. A political divide also emerged between left-leaning Arapahoe County and the other conservative communities. In 2020, a bipartisan effort in the state legislature split the district, leaving only Arapahoe County in the 18th Judicial District and creating a new district for the remaining counties, the state's 23rd.

Flora heads up panel addressing ‘complex problem’ of illegal immigration, HB 19-1124 and sanctuaries

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice LONE TREE -- It might be a complex problem but the solution could be quite simple, participants in an immigration forum told a large audience gathered here Wednesday in Douglas County. "We can secure the border, and then the work begins," said Deborah Flora. A candidate in the 4th District U.S. House race, Flora has pledged that, if elected, immigration will top her list of priorities. She organized a forum here with local law enforcement officials, including a sheriff, district attorney and former ICE director. "The State of Colorado has made it essentially against the law to participate with our federal partners," said Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly.
