What does “resistance” look like?
When Denver isn’t busing illegal aliens to New York and Chicago, its mayor is trying to act like enforcing American immigration law and deporting illegal aliens is Tiananmen Square all over again.
The mayor also takes heart that the people of Denver — not just the administration — would likely resist a mass deportation effort from federal forces.
“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?”

If I lived there, I would put the mayor on notice. If any of my family gets hurt by an illrgal alien I would sue the Mayor personally for not doing his job to keep CITIZENS safe.

Trump should say there is no fed funding for illegals in sanctuary cities. You want em YOU pay for em. Citizens stop voting for dems who care MORE abt illegals than you.

These demorat morons need to wait to see who gets deported before they go off postulating about using the National guard in rounding up citizens. Do they want criminals gone or not? That is the question. And heaven help them if any more citizens get killed, raped, robbed by any of the illegal immigrants.

To keep from missing out on the action to put down a real, live rebellion, I'd go back on active duty in the Marines, if the Commander in Chief would give me an age waiver. I figure a single 48-person rifle platoon, vs Denver PD and 50,000 screeching leftists would be overkill, even though I doubt that Denver PD would show up, unless their scrawny major was leading from the front dressed in a kilt, like Mel Gibson playing William Wallace (Braveheart) and then they'd only be present for the entertainment value and photo opportunities.

There are so many ways to bring them to heel without the direct confrontation they want. Shut down all federal services in Denver, like having the FAA shut down the airport. That would kill both passenger and freight service.

If they do, who do you think is a better shot? Police or military?

When the police and the Venezuelan gangsters are on the same team, ther'll be 50,000 Denverites leaving town - never to return.

Very brave Mr. Mayor. Wonder how brave he’ll be when he is arrested for blocking Federal authorities. Illegals are ultimately a Federal problem, not Denver’s.

By interfering with federal officers who are enforcing the federal immigration laws, that leftist Democrat mayor could find himself in a federal courtroom and then in a federal prison.

If I were an illegal and this fool promised to fight my being exported I would head for Denver. In fact I would suggest that to the illegals , Head for Denver. Fill the town with them , If I were Mayor Eric Adams that is where I would be sending the busses. Yes indeed Denver is the place for the illegals to go. Denver . It's like paradise . I hope they all run there, I am sure they will be met with streets paved with gold.

If the Police interfere with the arrest of an illegal - then arrest the Police for interfering with an agent of the federal government enforcing the law.
Start with the Governor and the Mayor of Denver.

During his statement, the Mayor also stated that there were things that Denver needed to help support the high number of illegals, including federal funds. Since Denver is refusing to cooperate with the federal government relating to illegals, all funds to NGO's and anything else used to assist in paying for illegals must be cut off immediately. I'm sure there will be a lawsuit from Denver to force payment of the federal funds, but the feds can also counter sue for Denver's cooperation in enforcing federal immigration laws.

Let's see what a total cut off of Federal funds will do to Denver, Colorado.

OK, send ALL illegals to Denver. That's like 20-25 million. Should be great fun.

Okay, if that is their attitude. Matthew 10:14, And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,”
I doubt it, mayor. The DPD is not going to defy federal authorities and you would only get a small crowd of antifa types to stand at the city limit. Trump could also use the National Guard like Ike did to enforce federal law on segregation. This is just useless posturing to his diminishing fan base.

Harboring illegal aliens is a felony, I believe. Send in US marshals to arrest the mayor.

Hang tough mayor. You show them, and have your Police Chief there by your side. Make your case to the nation and brush up on how to survive in prison.

Blue states always need bailouts from the Feds.
They should take notice that Biden is gone soon.
