    'It gives Johnston cover, should it become public.' Mike Coffman (R), the mayor of Aurora, Colorado, accused Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) of facilitating a covert migrant relocation scheme that led to a severe increase in gang activity in Aurora. In a Monday op-ed for the Denver Gazette, Coffman blamed Johnston for the ongoing immigration and gang crisis, claiming he partnered with two non-governmental organizations to move foreign nationals from Denver, a sanctuary city, to other neighboring towns. Coffman, who has come under fire for his role in allowing illegal aliens to settle in Aurora, defended his decision in November...

    We have the problem because you put ’em here without telling us.”. In the wake of a brutal attack at an Aurora apartment complex that led to the arrest of several alleged Venezuelan gang members. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman blasted Denver Mayor Mike Johnston over the city’s handling of new immigrants. Coffman said on Friday that Johnston had effectively moved immigrants into Aurora while refusing to give the neighboring city basic information. “I've confronted the mayor about it. He won't tell me how many people he sent over here. He won't tell me what benefits he gave them, what promises...

    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...

    CNN host Kasie Hunt was left visibly shocked after listening to incoming border czar Tom Homan say he would put Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail if he didn't cooperate with Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. In an appearance last Monday with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Homan said: 'Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.' Hunt played this soundbite on her show Wednesday and had a visceral reaction before insisting that Homan's rhetoric was 'more extreme' than what had been said by the Trump...

    Denver Mayor Mike Johnston insisted he is 'not afraid' of being jailed over his staunch opposition to Donald Trump's mass deportation plans. The Democrat has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump and his new 'Border Czar' Tom Homan, who has directly threatened Johnston with jail time if he stands in their way. In an appearance on Monday with Fox News' Hannity, Homan said: 'Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.'

    Audit results reveal that the City of Denver, Colorado, lost track of nearly $150 MILLION they spent between January 2022 and March 2024 on homeless shelters And they wonder why we voted for @DOGE ? By the way, it's now clear & obvious that Democrats use homelessness to launder money back to themselves. This is why the crisis will never be cured. You don't write checks totaling $150 million without knowing exactly where it'll end up. Not only should Mayor Mike Johnston get arrested for planning to harbor illegals, but he should now get arrested for laundering money. ... They...

    On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston reacted to incoming Border Czar Tom Homan saying he’s willing to arrest him and arguing that sanctuary cities are violating the law by stating that “What we’re not going to do is support deploying the 101st Airborne into American cities to pull ten-year-old kids out of their classrooms in handcuffs. I think that is immoral, that’s unconstitutional, and that’s un-American. And so, I think if that’s what they’re proposing, they will find us resisting.” But they will help the federal government with going after violent criminals and felons as they...

    In a fiery appearance on Face the Nation, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) issued a stern warning to Denver Mayor Mike Johnston over his open defiance of federal immigration laws and President Trump’s promised deportation efforts. “You know, I’m 100% supportive of going after the 15,000 murderers, the 13,000 sexual assault perpetrators, rapists—let’s send them on their way to prison or back home to another prison,” Paul asserted. However, he made it clear that such efforts must not involve deploying the U.S. Army domestically, a move Paul deemed both unconstitutional and dangerous. “We’ve had a long-standing distrust of putting the Army...

    During a portion of an interview with CNBC that was recorded in February and aired on Thursday’s “Cities of Success,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston responded to a question on if the city was too open to migrants and too generous by stating that “it’s a balance. We want to be a welcoming city” but doing that without federal help “requires shared sacrifice, it requires compromise. So, we are both making cuts to city budgets to meet this financial need, and we are making cuts to the amount of services we can provide to the migrants that arrive and to the...

    On Tuesday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press Now,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston stated that the sanctuary city will “hit a capacity at which we just won’t be able anymore to manage the amount of inflow” and “we’re hitting a breaking point at which there’s just not enough volume of work or housing in the city to support this ongoing volume,” and so they’ll have to consider turning away buses of migrants. Host Garrett Haake asked, “[Y]ou’ve said you’ve not considered turning away any of these buses of migrants that are coming to your city. But is there a point...
