| | President Donald Trump’s mass pardoning of roughly 1,500 people connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol includes at least 30 Coloradans who will either see their convictions wiped out or pending charges dropped. | | | Denver is included on recent unconfirmed lists of major U.S. cities reported to be where ICE raids could start as early as Tuesday under the new Trump administration. | | | When President Donald Trump was sworn in for his return to office Monday for a second term, it was a historic moment for the country — and a relatively muted one for much of Colorado’s highest profile politicians. | | | The Republican added a long list of policies that sounded more like a State of the Union speech than an inaugural address. | | | The pardons fulfill Trump’s promise to release supporters who tried to help him overturn his election defeat. | | | One order says the government will recognize only two sexes, including on documents such as passports and visas. | | | Trump has already repealed dozens of former President Joe Biden’s actions. | | | Trump has been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. | | | In most cases, Justice Department prosecutors have argued that Capitol riot defendants shouldn’t be able to return to the scene of their crimes while they’re under the court’s supervision. | | | |
