Mayor Of Denver Seems To Walk Back Threat To Use Police To Prevent Deportations

Posted • November 23, 2024: Denver, Colorado Mayor Mike Johnston challenged President-elect Donald Trump to deport any of Denver's "residents." Johnston said he would use the Denver police force, along with an army of citizen volunteers, to stop any deportation effort. That's funny, seeing as Denver earlier this year cut $8.4 million from the police so those funds could go to illegal immigrants. And as far as those citizen volunteers, Johnston said, "More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Deverites there. It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them." So let me get this straight: The mayor of Denver is planning a violent resistance to stop Trump from removing violent Venezuelan criminals from the United States? Perhaps he’d like to move to Venezuela with his new Tren de Aragua friends as they’re deported—not a moment too soon.

In a new interview, Johnston seems to walk back his comments on sending Denver police to the county line, although he's all for civil disobedience and would happy go to jail. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston backtracks on calling for Denver Police to confront federal immigration officials. He continues to call for citizens to protest, even willing to go to jail himself to protect illegal immigrants. Democrats first priority is to always defend criminals. If he prioritized the needs of American citizens first, Denver would be a world-class city. Let’s take him up on his offer. Just make sure he shares a holding cell and gets cozy with the same violent criminals he so desperately wants the rest of us to live with and get terrorized by. Local leaders can protest all they want. They don’t even have to cooperate with federal authorities. But when they conspire to physically obstruct and assault federal immigration officers, they are committing very serious federal felonies. For which they must face prosecution.

How about advocating for the rights and safety of his American constituents instead of prioritizing protecting and providing for illegal aliens? Not only are hourly city employees facing layoffs to fund illegal immigrants, but Denver also cut services at the DMV and parks and recreation departments to free up funds to house and feed illegals. What an absolute shitbird. That guy really is something else. Why do they always look like this? Physiognomy is real. He is a soft, effeminate man driven by feelings and ideologies not facts and reality. He is a danger to our citizenry. (…)
