ICE Detains Colorado LPR Over 2001 Marijuana Case After CBP Airport Flag; 37% Of July ICE Arrests Had No U.S. Convictions

Dale Heath, a British-born lawful permanent resident in Colorado, was detained by ICE after CBP flagged decades-old marijuana convictions when he sought paperwork renewal at Denver International Airport. He remains in ICE custody at Aurora pending a Sept. 3 immigration hearing; CBP says he attempted to flee after receiving an NTA. The piece ties the case to a wider enforcement shift, citing UC Berkeley data showing a rise in ICE arrests of people without U.S. criminal convictions under the current administration.
