Polis warns of potential Medicaid cuts impacting Coloradans

Gov. Jared Polis expressed concern over potential federal Medicaid cuts that could affect 400,000 Coloradans. He highlighted the risks to health clinics and hospitals, noting that Congress is working on budget cuts that may impact Medicaid funding. Polis also reiterated his support for federal immigration enforcement, stating that he agrees with targeting criminals. However, he acknowledged a lack of transparency regarding ICE operations in Colorado, following recent raids that did not lead to criminal charges. In a press conference, Polis criticized President Trump's tariffs on Canada, emphasizing Colorado's strong ties with the country. He plans to sign a proclamation to celebrate this relationship and will also show support for Mexico next month.
