Denver’s Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston is taking a bold stand against former President Trump’s immigration policies. Johnston has declared that if Trump attempts to deport illegal migrants from Denver, he will mobilize the full force of the Denver Police Department, alongside volunteers from the local community, to physically block federal operations.
This commitment to sanctuary city status means Denver will protect its immigrant community at any cost, including direct confrontation with federal authorities. Johnston warned that Denver residents, especially passionate activists, would form a human barrier to prevent deportations. He put it bluntly: “It would be like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun.” In other words, a peaceful yet powerful public defiance against any attempt to forcibly remove undocumented migrants.
Johnston’s statement sends a clear message that Denver is not backing down when it comes to its position on immigration. The city has long been a sanctuary for immigrants, offering protection from federal immigration laws. This new defiance comes as part of a broader political conflict, with Johnston’s comments targeting Trump’s hardline stance on immigration.
