Denver Mayor Who Threatened To Stop Deportations Folds Like A Lawn Chair After Tom Homan Threat
Posted • November 30, 2024: 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. Homan: He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail. -- It seems that Johnston got the message because he's now singing a different tune. In a more recent interview, he had this to say. He keeps backtracking, but I want to note the false framing being presented by Johnston. While Trump has put the use of military troops deployed under a state of emergency to help with immigration enforcement on the table, he has not definitively said that will happen. Furthermore, the idea that it would be "women and children" gathered up is emotional manipulation that ignores two things.
For one, men between the ages of 18 and 39 make up a whopping 35 percent of illegal immigrants. Secondly, the majority of illegal immigrants who enter the United States are male. Couple that with the fact that the Trump administration will not be able to deport everyone, and it's obvious they will be focusing on those who have committed crimes within the interior (of which the vast majority are working-age men) and not randomly gathering up "women and children." In other words, Johnston's misdirection is no different than pro-abortion fanatics who constantly cite "rape and incest" when almost all abortions do not include those things. Continuing with the mayor's comments, he then goes further, outright saying he'd take back what he originally said about Tiananmen Square. (…)
