In a decisive move, the mayor of Denver has issued an executive order that restricts federal immigration agents, specifically ICE, from operating on city property. The order not only mandates that local police protect peaceful anti-ICE protesters but also allows for the detainment of ICE agentsif they are found using excessive force or assaulting residents. This policy reflects a broader effort by the city to provide a safe environment for its residents and to curb ICE activities within its jurisdiction. Mayor Mike Johnston emphasized that the local police will play a crucial role in safeguarding the community against federal encroachments.
