Denver’s Stance on Immigration

Denver finds itself at the center of a national debate as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to crack down on sanctuary cities. Mayor Mike Johnston has reaffirmed the city’s commitment to protecting undocumented immigrants, despite threats of federal funding cuts and increased deportation efforts.

Their mayor wants to keep illegal aliens and criminals in their city? Why?

“The short answer is, we won’t change that, because those are one of our core values. And we’re not going to sell out those values to anyone. We’re not going to be bullied into changing them,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said.

Wow…

The Justice Department has taken a decisive step in enforcing the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove issued a memo directing federal prosecutors to investigate state and local officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts.

“Indeed, it is the responsibility of the Justice Department to defend the Constitution, and accordingly, to lawfully execute the policies that the American people elected President Trump to implement,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove stated.

This move signals a significant shift in priorities from the previous administration and puts sanctuary cities like Denver in a precarious position. The memo emphasizes the Justice Department’s role in executing President Trump’s policies on immigration, violent crime, and drug trafficking

As Denver braces for potential federal investigations and funding cuts, the city’s leadership remains hopeful for a collaborative relationship with the new administration. Which just seems…delusional at this point.
