Denver Mayor walks back insurrection talk, still pledging to fight deportations (Read 1796 times)

The Mayor of Denver said he was willing to use police to stop feds at the county line.  He was essentially threatening insurrection.

Now he's watered that stance down, but he says he's still willing to go to jail to protect illegal aliens living in Denver.

Trump border czar Tom Homan says
he's willing to jail Denver mayor over
mass deportation protest

Johnston did walk back comments he made about stationing police officers at the
county line to stop federal forces from coming in to deport undocumented immigrants.
In an interview with local news outlet Denverite he likened those efforts to the 1989
Tiananmen Square protests in China.

Denver does not identify as a sanctuary city. The Denver Post reports:
"The city doesn't have an ordinance staking out a claim or barring
information-sharing with federal officials about a person's immigration
status, unlike some cities. But it is among cities that don't enforce
immigration laws or honor federal 'detainer' requests
to hold immigrants
with suspect legal status in jail past their release dates

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Protect the law breakers?? Bring them to your home, open your arms. give them "SANCTUARY"  Tom Homan is coming for you!!!

That mayor looks like a typical "Talk the talk but will not walk the walk...."

He shouldn't get angry at what's soon to come regarding immigration.

He should be angry at the asshat clowns that allowed this sh*t to happen for 4 years.
