Multiple independent outlets (The Hill via WCIA, Washington Post via Inquirer, Washington Examiner, Common Cause, Public Rights Project press release, Democracy Docket) report that the City and County of Denver, LULAC, Common Cause, and UnidosUS filed a federal lawsuit in September 2026 to block ICE agents from being deployed to polling places.

What we found

Supports. The Hill (via WCIA) reports Denver filed suit to block ICE officers from voting sites, naming LULAC, Common Cause and UnidosUS as plaintiffs' co-counsel groups.[1]

Supports. The Washington Post (via Inquirer) reports Denver and two Latino civil rights groups and a voting rights organization sued on September 10 to keep armed immigration agents away from polling places.[2]

Supports. Public Rights Project's press release states it filed suit on behalf of the City and County of Denver, LULAC, UnidosUS and Common Cause challenging the plan to send ICE officers to polling places.[3]

Supports. Democracy Docket's case page lists the City of Denver, LULAC, Common Cause, Common Cause Education Fund and UnidosUS as plaintiffs in the suit against DHS and ICE.[4]

Context. The post's own claim that the suit is brought by LULAC, Common Cause and UnidosUS matches these sources; the speaker's remark that Denver is not the lead plaintiff is not contradicted and is a minor framing detail.[1][3][5]
