In the chilly climes of Denver, a discontented horde from the Cedar Run Apartments in the southeastern part of the city congregated outside the 384-unit complex on February 17, 2023. They were there to voices their woes, alleging squalid living conditions.

Waving banners with slogans like "Denver's coldest showers" and "inhabiting moldy units," these tenants rallied to bring attention to the persistent wintermonth issues of lacking heat and hot water, as well as cockroach infestations, that they had been enduring.

Although this gathering marked a recent outcry, it isn't the only drama that unfolded at Cedar Run Apartments. The complex was the scene of an ICE raid on February 5, 2025, which led to the detention of multiple undocumented immigrants. This raid, part of a larger wave of ICE operations targeting undocumented immigrants in Colorado since early 2025, has stirred up community activists and religious leaders, who are standing against the harsh treatment of residents and the broader anti-immigrant policies they symbolize.

Despite the lack of direct updates regarding continuous protest activities at Cedar Run Apartments, the 2025 ICE raid continues to spark local outrage and calls for improvement of living conditions, and to protect immigrant residents from further raids and detention. The wider landscape involves heightened immigrant rights activism in Colorado, with multiple community organizations and unions rallying for workers' and immigrant rights, evident in events such as the May Day rally in Denver on May 1, 2025.
