The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday that authorities violated the constitutional privacy rights of illegal immigrants when they seized their tax records in an identify-theft investigation, a decision that infuriated illegal-immigration foes.
In a 4-3 decision, the court upheld a March ruling by a Weld County district judge, who held that tax returns are confidential and that prosecutors had no right to search one of the defendants’ tax filings.

He noted that conservatives have launched a movement, Clear the Bench Colorado, to oust four of the seven justices in November by urging a “no” vote on their retention. Decisions such as Monday’s ruling are likely to help the campaign’s cause, he said.
Clear the Bench Colorado has had a prominent role at PPC and has led the way in fighting the “unjust justices” here in Colorado and will be certain to have an updated analysis of the decision shortly.
