The Mayor of Denver blamed for the placement of illegal goal for the city for the city because of the Immigration Act
Democrat Mayor Denver Mike Johnston He is to blame for giving violent, illegal gangs and cartels a “safe port” for the city’s “weak immigration laws”.
Johnston is one of the four mayors of the city of the shrine who on Wednesday faced a hearing with high roles in front of the Domestic Government Supervision and Reform Committee to resolve the effects of these policies on their cities.
When Ambassador Scott Perry, R-Pa, asked Johnston if he considered Denver refuge, he replied, “We do not use that definition.”
“Do not use the definition so you are not a shrine?” Perry asked.

“We are called a welcome city,” Johnston said.
Perry then questioned what criteria they use to determine who they greet to the city.
“Well, we’re welcoming everything. We don’t hold people …” Johnston replied.
“So you welcome criminals that you have no idea what their criminal background is. You’re good with that?” Perry asked.
“No. We are aggressively following violent criminals,” Johnston explained.

One of the main questions that plague Mile High City, along with neighboring Auror, is the increase in the presence of a violent Venecuelan immigrant gang of a moment de Aragua (TDA).
“The illegal immigrant gang a moment of de Aragua aimed at Denver to be their US headquarters because of the poor immigration laws,” the Republican Reverend Colorado Gabe Evans told Fox News Digital.
Evans explained that, due to the state policies of the shrine, public security budgets were reduced to allow the “influx of immigrants”, among other questions.
“The local hospitals hit, the schools in Denver were flooded, Fentanil and Tusi flooded into the Colorado community – Colorado is the third most dangerous state,” Evans divided.
“As a police officer for more than a decade in the Metro area, I saw first -hand what contributes to these problems, and a significant percentage of guilt lies in the city and state policies of the shrine and state policies that allow violent transnational criminal organizations and cartels to enter our community and find a safe port.”
Evans added that a member of the TDA gang was also recently released from custody because of the policy of the shrine in Colorado.
On Wednesday, the city of Denver posted a video showing the ICE agent, which persecuted and arrested a member of TDA Banda, which was just released from prison.
Due to the policies of the shrine of the city, he was released and fled after seeing ice agents. Ice said he had attacked the agent when he was detained.
Johnston allegedly reached for Ice and asks him to sit down with them to talk about the “best actions” moving forward.
Last April, Johnston announced $ 45 million in program funding to help solve a rapid number Migrants’ arrivals Denver was confronted, resulting in a decrease in budget by over $ 8 million for the police department.
The $ 45.9 million package, which Johnston said completely funded the “newcomers” programs for 2024 and avoid the worst scenarios that the City project had project, was with $ 44 million in consumption that were already secured for a program through previous budget moves.

A spokesman Johnston has previously rejected the descriptions of reduction as a “defense” of the police, and a 1.9% decrease in less than an average of 2.5% of the reduction of all city agencies. The cuts would not have an impact on public services and resulted in officials not to take off the streets, a spokesman said.
“Adjusting the City of Denver Police Directorate’s Budget in Denver He was carefully made with security leaders and mayor Johnston to ensure that there would be no effect on the public services of the Department. And no clerk will be removed from the streets, “said spokesman Jordan Fuja.
In January, the drug implementation administration (DEA) arrested approximately 50 illegal immigrants, many of whom had to do with TDA, which Trump’s administration now classifies as a foreign terrorist organization.
Johnston had previously committed to resisting Trump’s immigration policy and emphasized Denver’s commitment to protecting illegal migrants and By maintaining your Sanctuary status, Saying that it would not be “bullied”.

“We won’t sell those values to anyone,” Johnston Denverite said in an interview. “We won’t be bullied to change them.”
Asked if he was ready to go to jail for standing in the path of politics brought by the administration, Johnston said he was not afraid of it. “
“Yes, I’m not afraid of that, and I’m not looking for it too,” Johnston told Denverite. “I think a goal is to want to be able to negotiate with reasonable people [on] How to solve serious problems. “
Former Assistant Director of the FBI told Fox News Digital that he was Johnston, and the other three mayors who spoke before the congress – New York Mayor Eric Adams, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu – “do not make his cities any favorites.”
“The cartels are powerful and they infiltrate any city where there is an easy implementation of the law. Trump’s implementation of the law will be a lot of time after the cartel, but they have a 50-year start and, especially in the last four years, have become a polycryminal organization, which are broken down into smuggled people, schemes of extortion and many other activities that have been destroyed in the company.”
Swecker added that, with cartel and medication problems, all four mayors also hide their true statistics of crime.
“The system of the system and they do not participate in the new FBI Crime Crime System called National System of Incidents Filed in Incidents. Nibs records more crime statistics in a more detailed way. Many blue cities do not want it and claim that they do not have the technology for implementing the system. As a result, crime said.
