El Paso County Sheriff’s Office works with ICE during arrest of undocumented immigrant in southern Colorado
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – An undocumented immigrant is behind bars, accused of theft and drug possession after an effort by El Paso County deputies and ICE.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said this happened on Thursday when they got a call of someone breaking into vehicles in the Security/Widefield area on Preminger drive.
Deputies said when they arrived, they found the suspect’s vehicle, which deputies said had two people inside. Deputies said there was a brief chase, leading to a dead-end road on Gossamer street, where both suspects ran away in opposite directions.
That’s when officials said they tried using a drone to track the suspects, successfully locating one as he ran toward Grinnell boulevard and the Fountain Valley School. Deputies said the drone operator tracked the suspect until weather conditions forced the drone out of operation.
Using the suspect’s last known location, deputies said they were able to find and arrest him at the Fountain Valley School.
Deputies said the truck the suspects were using was reported stolen in November of 2024 from Colorado Springs. When they searched the truck, deputies said they found a gun, which was also reported stolen in November, along with 1.5 grams of heroin, a lot of marijuana and what deputies called items consistent with narcotics distribution. Deputies said they also found stolen retail items.
The suspect they arrested was 41-year-old Jose Daniel Paramo Guerro, according to deputies. They said he had a Mexican driver’s license with him, as well as several personal identification documents, including what appeared to be immigration documents. Because of his alleged criminal activity, deputies said they coordinated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to confirm his identity.
Deputies said the documents he had were found to have been fake and associated with other people.
Paramo Guerro was arrested on charges of motor vehicle theft, first-degree criminal trespass, forgery, theft, a special offender charge, vehicular eluding, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Paramo Guerro was booked on a $50,000 bond in the El Paso County Jail, according to deputies.

Pikes Peak or Bust Parade canceled by organizers
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Organizers for the Pikes Peak or Bust Parade announced on Friday, June 19, that due to a lack of resources, the parade has been canceled.
Originally scheduled for July 11 in Downtown Colorado Springs, parade organizers said they could not secure the resources needed to produce the event at the level the community deserves.
“We know many of you were looking forward to the parade, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who offered their time, support, sponsorship, and enthusiasm,” said organizers.

Colorado’s Deion Sanders With Controversial Big 12 Coach Ranking
Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has an overall record of 16-21 since taking over in Boulder prior to the 2023 season.
Where does Coach Prime rank among Big 12 coaches entering the 2026 college football season?
Deion Sanders No.15 in Big 12 Coach Rankings
On3 ranked all 16 Big 12 head football coaches heading into 2026. Deion Sanders is ranked No.15, only ahead of Kansas State Wildcats coach Collin Klein. This will be Klein’s first year as Wildcats head coach. He is a former Kansas State quarterback was most recently the offensive coordinator for the Texas A&M Aggies.
A top this ranking at No. 1 is BYU Cougars coach Kalani Sitake. Sitake has been at the helm for the Cougars since 2016. He has accumulated an overall record of 84-45. In four of Sitake’s 10 seasons with BYU, he has led them to double digit wins.
Here is the entire ranking:
1. Kalani Sitake, BYU Cougars
2. Kenny Dillingham, Arizona State Wildcats
3. Joey McGuire, Texas Tech Red Raiders
4. Sonny Dykes, TCU Horned Frogs
5. Willie Fritz, Houston Cougars
6. Lance Leipold, Kansas Jayhawks
7. Rich Rodriguez, West Virginia Mountaineers
8. Eric Morris, Oklahoma State Cowboys
9. Brent Brennan, Arizona Wildcats
10. Dave Aranda, Baylor Bears
11. Scott Satterfield, Cincinatti Bearcats
12. Morgan Scalley, Utah Utes
13. Scott Frost, UCF Knights
14. Jimmy Rogers, Iowa State Cyclones
15. Deion Sanders, Colorado Buffaloes
16. Collin Klein, Kansas State Wildcats
Is 15th a fair ranking for Coach Prime?
What stands out right away from this is a first time collegiate head coach is ahead of Sanders, Morgan Scalley. While Sanders’ team struggled in 2025, it would be hard to rank him behind Scalley.
When Sanders was hired, the Buffaloes were coming off a one-win 2022 season. It was a controversial hire, as Sanders’ collegiate coaching experience came at the FCS level with Jackson State. The Coach Prime era in Boulder got off to a great start.
In 2023, Colorado began the season 3-0. It got going with a stunning season opening upset on the road against the defending national runner-up TCU Horned Frogs. The Buffs won their next two games against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Colorado State Rams to get to 3-0.
They hosted ESPN’s College GameDay for their in-state rivalry game against Colorado State. The country had their eyes on what Sanders had cooking. This undefeated came to a screeching halt with a road loss to Oregon. Colorado ended up losing eight of their final nine games to end with a record of 4-8. While the end was dissapoitning, it was still three more wins than the previous season.
2024 a major turnaround. The Buffs went 9-3 and made the Alamo Bowl. Buffs’ wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy and quarterback Shedeur Sanders was named 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
2025 was more of what 2023 was. The Buffs went 3-9, missing a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Will they get back to a bowl in 2026?
