He said that the suspect had not started any process to obtain a legal residence or citizenship.

Chamberlain also spoke on widespread challenges in front of law enforcement, including the influx of migrants for Arora and tension between local and federal officials about immigration enforcement.
He criticized the current sanctions, which limit local police cooperation with federal agencies such as ICE, especially after recent legal functions by Colorado Attorney General Phil Veser.
“The authorities are afraid of being punished only to cooperate with federal partners,” Chamberlane said. “This is a serious concern for local law enforcement to deal with increasing crime. We are not here to target immigrants. We are here to make criminals accountable.”
