Incoming border czar Tom Homan will send Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) to prison if he intends to go to prison for obstructing and obstructing President-elect Donald Trump's administration's mass deportation plans. He said he intended to do so.
Johnston made the comments last week after vowing to use Denver police to prevent federal and military assets from entering the county for deportation purposes. Johnston did not completely back away from that threat, saying that while he did not want an armed conflict with the U.S. government, the city would find a way to resist President Trump's plan.
“I'm not afraid of that, and I'm not seeking that. I think the goal is to be able to negotiate with rational people about how to solve difficult problems,” Johnston said. he said.
“States and local governments should not only refrain from obstructing federal immigration enforcement, but also be asked to support it.”

“You're completely against the law. All he has to do is watch.” Arizona vs USAand he will realize that he is breaking the law. But look, the Mayor of Denver and I agree on one thing. He's willing to go to jail. I’m willing to put him in jail,” Homan promised.
“President Trump has been clear: We want to focus on public safety threats and national security threats. It's hard to believe that any governor would say he doesn't want to eliminate public safety threats from his neighborhood,” he added. .
Homan previously warned that Democratic leaders who seek to use their public offices to cover up illegal immigration and thwart Trump's deportation plans violate Title 8, United States Code, Section 1324.
“They need to educate themselves. They need to look at this. 8 U.S.C. § 1324. Read about it and don't cross that line. No, it's a felony to cover up. Don't cross that line,''' Homan said last week.
Johnston is just one of many Democrats at the state and local level who have said they will not help run the federal government.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday said That's still not enough.
“States and localities should not only refrain from obstructing federal immigration enforcement, they should be required to support it as a condition of receiving federal funds. “While we cannot 'direct' federal law enforcement,” he explained, “the payment of federal dollars conditional on cooperation with immigration enforcement is appropriate and constitutional.”
