Denver’s mayor has vowed to shield migrants in his sanctuary city from mass deportation by using local cops and 50,000 residents “stationed at the county line” — calling it a “Tiananmen Square moment.”
“More than us having [federal agents] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston recently told the outlet Denverite — after President-elect Donald Trump vowed to undertake mass deportations of illegal migrants across the US.
“It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment … right?” said Johnston, referring to the famous caught-on-video showdown between a Chinese student and government tank in Tiananmen Square in China during the 1989 rebellion there.
“You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them,” the mayor said of Denver residents apparently prepared to go to the mat against the federal government.

He’s throwing red meat to his cultist base. He won’t do a thing when the deportations start.

Obstruction of justice comes to mind for anyone who interferes with a federal mandate. Aiding and abetting any criminal also has consequences. These people are grandstanding and stupid.

Two more months of bluster. Enjoy it while you can. The sheriff takes office on January 20th.

Mass deportations and in this instance incarcerations.

Fine, let Denver keep them for now. The law-abiding part of the populace might finally revolt. There are plenty of others to go after all over Colorado.

Just a few months ago, the City of Denver was complaining they had run out of money for the illegals.
