","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":525,"description":"\nDemocrats in Colorado control the governor’s office and both houses of the state legislature. Many of them openly oppose the Republican Trump administration’s actions to ramp up arrests and deportation of immigrants without legal status in the state. \n \nAnd those Democratic lawmakers have heard from many constituents in recent weeks who also oppose immigration raids. \n \nBut more than a month after Trump took office and sweeps began in places like Denver and Aurora, Colorado Democrats still haven’t determined how they plan to push back. \n\nKUNC politics and legislature reporter Lucas Brady Woods spoke with Erin O’Toole to help explain what state legislators can – and can’t – do in the face of federal immigration enforcement.  \n\nYou can find more of KUNC's statehouse coverage from the Capitol News Alliance here.    \n\n* * * * *\nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
