They declared themselves such without asking residents how they felt. Dumbass actions have consequences for wokenistas!

They expected to dump these criminals in republican cities.

I guess they didn’t think that virtue signaling will eventually have a pricetag.

Back in 2017 the Denver city council voted 10-0 to declare Denver a sanctuary city. The vote actually had the force of law. No cooperation with immigration authorities, etc. Given such a lopsided vote, I’ve got to think that most residents were okay with it.

Denver’s fatal mistake was not including some sort of NIMBY(“not in my back yard”) provision in their law. Too bad for them.

Yep. They virtue signaled their holier than thou sanctuary city status not thinking it could backfire on them.

“They declared themselves such without asking residents how they felt.”

Residents didn’t complain at the time, did they?
