Sen. Paul Denver Mayor Opposing Deportations Will Be Removed From Office Could Face Criminal Charges

Sen. Rand Paul speaking out against Denver’s Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston who said that he will use police officers and citizens to fight against President Trump’s mass deportation plan. Paul saying on CBS’s Face The Nation that Johnston could be removed from office, and may even face criminal charges
“Now, I would say that the mayor of Denver, if he’s going to resist federal law, which is a long standing history of the supremacy of federal law. If he's going to resist that, it will go all the way to the Supreme Court. And I would suspect that he would be removed from office. I don't know whether or not there would be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal law, but he will lose. And people need to realize that what he is, what he is offering is a form of insurrection where the states resist the federal government. Most people objected to that and rejected that long ago. So I think the mayor of Denver is on the wrong side of history and really, I think will face legal ramifications if he doesn't obey the federal law.”
