Former Police Officer Gabe Evans Holds Anti-Law Enforcement Democrats Accountable

May 21, 2026

Democrats Manny Rutinel and Shannon Bird have repeatedly attacked federal law enforcement and called to “overhaul” and “stop” immigration enforcement. 

Former Arvada Police Department officer, Congressman Gabe Evans signed onto a letter holding Boulder and Denver Democrats accountable for prioritizing “illegal and criminal aliens over American citizens,” undermining public safety and hindering “the efficient enforcement of federal law.” 

Reporting notes that “Denver and Boulder are among the “sanctuary cities” across the country with policies limiting or prohibiting local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration agents.”

“While Democrats put criminal illegal immigrants over hardworking Coloradans and attack federal law enforcement, Congressman Gabe Evans remains steadfast in his support of the rule of law. This is yet another example of crazy vs common sense.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
