Last week, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, a ‘pro-sanctuary city’ Democrat, declared that he will oppose President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation plans, even if he means he ends up going to jail.
The only exception Johnston made for deportations was for what he called “violent criminals” who are “committing serious crimes like murder or rape.”
Otherwise, Johnston defiantly declared he is willing to go to jail in order to fight against Trump’s deportation plans.
In a Fox News interview Monday night, Trump’s incoming Border Czar, Tom Homan, declared in his no-nonsense manner that if Johnston is willing to go to jail, “I’m willing to put him in jail.”
Host Sean Hannity asked Homan, “I want you to be clear about who has jurisdiction, the federal government or state and local governments, and if you’re a sanctuary state or city, are you breaking the law?”
Homan replied, “You’re absolutely breaking the law. All he has to do is look at Arizona v. U.S., you’ll see that he’s breaking the law. But, look, 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.”
“Because there is a statute, it’s Title 8, United States Code, 1324 (iii), and what it says is it’s a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from immigration authorities. It is also a felony to impede a federal law enforcement officer,” Homan continued.
“So, if you don’t want to help, that’s fine, he can get the hell out of the way. But we’re going to go do the job, President Trump has a mandate from the American people. We’ve got to secure this country, we’ve got to save American lives. And I find it shocking that any mayor of a city would say — President Trump’s been clear, we want to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats, — I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don’t want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods.”
“I don’t know what the hell is going on in Denver, but we’re going to go and fix it. If he don’t want to fix it… if he don’t want to protect his communities, President Trump and ICE will,” Homan declared.
