How Denver’s mayor is responding to Trump’s threats to defund sanctuary cities

Denver has built a reputation as a city where new immigrants can find legal help and maybe even a job without constant fear of authorities.
But the United States will soon have a new president. Donald Trump promises mass deportations. And he says he will defund sanctuary cities that resist him, a move that could deprive Denver of millions of dollars for programs residents depend on.
Will pressure from the president change how Denver treats immigrants?
“The short answer is, we won't change that, because those are one of our core values,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said in an interview on Friday. “And we're not going to sell out those values to anyone. We're not going to be bullied into changing them.”

There is no such thing as a sanctuary city. It’s just an act of defiance and breaks existing laws.

Everyone keeps worrying about how Vivek is going to save all that Federal money.
Shutting down all federal aid to these leftist controlled cities is low hanging fruit.

Cool! We will just cut off every single last cent of federal dollars to Denver.

Perhaps the mayor could host some members of the Tren de Aragua gang in his home to protect them from the deportation. Go ahead mayor, show us how dedicated you are!

Their true core values will be revealed when the money stops flowing.

There are a lot of guys who insisted on maintaining their core values in prison.

This is the same guy that “debunked” the Tren de Aragua violent take over of Aurora.

I love how the author refers to illegal immigrants as ‘new immigrants’. No one has a problem with legal immigrants, they are welcome, it’s the illegals that the left wants all the rest of Americans to foot the bill for that we have a problem with and anyone that aids and abets the breaking of federal law should be prosecuted, and that includes mayors and governors.

“our core values” -- Denver Mayor Mike Johnston
DENVER CORE VALUES
* Nullification of federal law
* Violation of the Supremacy Clause
* Harboring criminal invaders
* Aiding and abetting criminal invaders
* Sheltering robbers, muggers, murderers and rapists
* Ignoring property rights of citizens while Tren de Aragua squats on properties and demands half the rent (nearby Aurora)
Some core values you got there in Denver, Johnston. I'm impressed.

Every dollar tied to a federal dollar, which is used in any form for the benefit of an illegal alien . . . federal payments to those communities shall be reduced by that precise amount.

They just “won’t help”. As long as they don’t actively obstruct, there is nothing that can be done to them.

Little Mikey Johnston sure has some shiddy “values”. Too bad he doesn’t have the same “values” for Americans that he has for illegal alien invaders who are raping and pillaging America. Mikey. You suck.
