Democrat Denver Mayor Vows Mass Resistance, Police Blockades Against Trump’s Migration MandateWarner Todd Huston 22 Nov 2024
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.”
Then he issued a stern warning.
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun,” he reportedly said. “You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. You don’t want to mess with them.”
