The state of Colorado is suing a local sheriff's deputy, accusing him of aiding federal immigration agents with the arrest of a college student with an expired visa.

Last month, Mesa County Deputy Alexander Zwing pulled over 19-year-old nursing student Caroline Diaz Gonzalez during a traffic stop.

The Colorado Attorney General's office alleges the deputy then shared Diaz Gonzalvas's

location and a description of her vehicle in a group chat that included ICE agents. And body cam footage

of the arrest, the deputy also asks her where she was born. Where are you from? You got a little

bit of an accent. You're from Utah? from Utah. How long you lived in Utah for?

Oh, it's 12 years.

Born and raised or no?

Oh, no.

I was born in, oh, gosh.

I was forget.

I was born in Brazil.

After letting her go, the student was arrested by federal immigration authorities and spent more than two weeks in an ICE detention center.

In the statements, she said, the past 15 days have been the hardest of my life.

I was scared and felt alone.

I was placed in the system that treated me like I didn't matter.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser says the arrest violated state laws that ban state

and local government employees from cooperating with federal officials on immigration enforcement.

His office is also investigating a handful of local law enforcement agencies accused of participating

in that group chat.

And the Colorado Attorney General joins us now. Thanks for being with us.

Happy to join you.
