Denver Mayor Goes All In On Protecting Illegal Alien Criminals From Trump

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

Venezuelan migrant arrested in Colorado for allegedly sexually assaulting boss’ 14-year-old daughter: report
Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo was tracked down in Denver, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says

A Venezuelan migrant is accused of sexually assaulting the 14-year-old daughter of his employer in Colorado while living in the basement of his home, police and reports say.

Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo had crossed into the U.S. illegally in El Paso, Texas in September 2023 before being released by the Border Patrol, Homeland Security sources told the New York Post. He was taken into custody in Denver on Tuesday.

Is this the hill you want to die on, Mayor Johnson?
