DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) – A top Colorado labor official is suing Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, accusing him of ordering state workers to violate Colorado law by handing over personal data about sponsors of undocumented children to federal immigration agents.

Scott Moss, the director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s (CDLE) Division of Labor Standards and Statistics, filed the lawsuit in Denver District Court on Wednesday.

Moss alleges that just a week after Polis signed a 2025 law expanding the state's ban on sharing immigrants' personally identifying information, or PII, with federal immigration enforcement, the governor ordered state employees to hand over PII of dozens of individuals to ICE agents in response to an administrative subpoena – not one issued by a court.
