It appears that Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston’s promise of rebellion and insurrection against the Trump administration will not materialize, at least any time soon.

The left-wing Denver city council voted unanimously to shutter its anti-theft auto license plate tracking system because ICE could use the data to deport illegals.
