Threatened to Stop Deportations Folds Like a Lawn Chair After Tom Homan Threat

Denver's far-left mayor has walked back his threat to use his city's police department to stop federal immigration law enforcement.
As RedState previously reported, Mayor Mike Johnston told a local news outlet that there would be a "Tiananmen Square" moment if the incoming Trump administration moved into the city to deport illegal immigrants. He even went so far as to say he'd use Denver PD to set up checkpoints at "the county line," something I'm sure not too many officers were keen on being a part of.
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “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.”
Notably, after those statements, new border czar Tom Homan didn't hold back, noting that Johnston would be arrested if he broke the law to interfere with federal authorities.
