Weld County, Colorado -- Tensions are building between Latino community leaders and Weld County Social Services after a sign placed in the front the department's building threatens to take action against those who provide false documentation.
Residents say the sign is discriminatory and that the county doesn't have jurisdiction to post the sign without a statue code, which allows people to verify such enforcement is legal.
The county says it posted the sign because of the high number of false documents county workers were given. After a special session last August, the Colorado Legislature mandated the county to verify the documents of those receiving government aid.
