Democrat mayor orders detention of ICE agents who use 'excessive force' against residents
2026-02-28
[BIZPACREVIEW] Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has formally banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city property as well as mandated the detention of any agent who uses ''excessive force'' on city residents.

The Democrat leader officially moved to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement with an executive order that comes amid his party's efforts to use the current partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as leverage to force changes to ICE that would severely impact its mission.

''No ICE officer gets to stand in our way of saving someone's life. To protect Denver, if we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident, we will step in to detain that officer and remove them from the situation,'' Johnston said from the Mile High City on Thursday.
