State's High Court To Review Weld County ACLU Case

Reporting

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) ― The Colorado Supreme Court will review whether Weld County authorities violated the rights of a tax preparer or its clients during an identity theft investigation against suspected illegal immigrants.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit arguing that District Attorney Ken Buck and Sheriff John Cooke were wrong to seize thousands of income tax records from a Greeley tax preparer who catered to Latinos.

At least 60 people suspected of using false or stolen identities to file tax returns were charged, but Larimer County District Judge James Hiatt ruled in April that the search was illegal because the tax records are confidential under federal law.

The Colorado Supreme Court announced Monday it would review the ruling.
