What Tom Holman said to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu “I will suggest she reads Title 8, United States Code 1324 III, which says you can’t harbor or conceal an illegal alien from federal law enforcement officers” applies to Denver Mayor Mike Johnson as well
Democrat Denver Mayor Vows Mass Resistance, Police Blockades Against Trump’s Migration Mandate
Denver’s Democrat Mayor is promising to use the city’s police and to organize private citizen demonstrators to block the enforcement of federal immigration laws in his city.
“More than us having [Denver police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Mayor Mike Johnston said.
“It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment,” he exclaimed, comparing Trump’s enforcement promise to China’s government’s 1989 massacre of Chinese democracy advocates.
Apparently fashioning himself as some sort of modern-day John C. Calhoun, Johnston says that he will press the city police department and “community volunteers” into his own little confederate army to take up the fight against ICE officials.
Johnston insisted that he is not going to give up his sanctuary city policies and won’t be “bullied” by the incoming Trump administration.
“We’re not going to sell out those values to anyone,” Johnston told the Denverite, according to Fox News. “We’re not going to be bullied into changing them.”
Denver is expected to hit a spending plateau of $90 million by the end of 2024. Even city council members have noted crime hotspots linked to the “migrants” shipped to Denver. The city and the surrounding towns are dealing with many members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which, if memory serves, threatened to attack Denver police officers.
A big question is “will the Denver PD cooperate with Mayor Johnson?” This is the same PD which was “defunded” to pay for illegal aliens. Or will they cooperate, or, at least look the other way when ICE and other federal agents swoop in to arrest the murderers, rapists, gang members, and other criminals? Like this guy

Is this the hill you want to die on, Mayor Johnson?
The OP opines: Is this the hill you want to die on, Mayor Johnson?
IF Trump be for it then they be agin it. That is the hill they are defending.
The right has become the anti-war party, and as soon as the Democrats took over the mantle of wars, wars, and more wars, we are literally on the brink of Nuclear Annihilation. The fuking Democrats can’t do anything right.
Arrest ANYONE who interferes!
Did hizzoner, mayor Johnson, just encourage every law-and-order mayor in the country to send their illegals to Denver?
“…And class, now we will turn to an example of ACTUAL insurrection as opposed to the Democrat definition….”
When democrats do insurrection they bombard Ft. Sumpter. We send a couple hundred unarmed old folks into the Capitol on Rascals.
As a Colorado resident I support arresting and prosecuting this criminal to the fullest extent of the law. He’d gleefully arrest and prosecute any of his political opponents so, fair’s fair. He’s a common thug in a suit and tie.
