Denver mayor threatens to deploy cops, 50K residents in 'Tiananmen Square moment' to stop Trump's mass deportations | 22 Nov 2024 | Denver's mayor has vowed to shield migrants in his sanctuary city from mass deportation by using local cops and 50,000 residents "stationed at the county line" -- calling it a "Tiananmen Square moment." "More than us having [federal agents] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there," Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston recently told the outlet Denverite -- after President-elect Donald Trump vowed to undertake mass deportations of illegal migrants across the U.S. "It's like the Tiananmen Square moment...right?" said Johnston, referring to the famous caught-on-video showdown between a Chinese student and government tank in Tiananmen Square in China during the 1989 rebellion there. “You'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them," the mayor said of Denver residents. [Yes, Johnston wants to ensure the migrant child rapists in Colorado are protected at all costs.]
