Look at this chucklehead. He's willing to use violent force against
American law enforcement officers but he won't do a thing to stop the
barbaric illegal alien Venezuelan thugs who are taking over entire
apartment buildings in his city, extorting and terrorizing the U.S. citizen
residents.

The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado Mike Johnston has challenged Trump
to try to deport any illegal migrants from his city, saying he would deploy
the Denver City Police and volunteers from the local community to use force
against federal forces trying to deport illegals.
 
"More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you
would have 50,000 Denverites there. It's like the Tiananmen Square moment
with the rose and the gun... You'd have every one of those Highland moms
who came out for the migrants. You don't want to mess with them."

 
Has Denver lawfully seceded from the United States? I feel like I would
have heard about it if it had happened but maybe I missed it....
 
If Denver remains part of America, I'm pretty sure he has to obey the
law. I don't recall any exceptions for mayors of largish cities in the
Constitution. What's it called if you declare in advance that you will
not obey a law and in fact threaten to use force on a substantial scale
to avoid obeying it? That's sedition isn't it? Or does it qualify as
treason? Either way, the mayor seems to be talking himself into a jail
cell. Or maybe even a civil war if he actually persuades Denverites to
do what he's threatening and open fire on ICE employees.

Yeah, the whole thing seems a little insurrectiony to me. And this would be
an actual insurrection with the guy at the top actually responsible for
greenlighting it.
