Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston pledged to resist President-elect Trump’s proposed immigration policies, invoking China’s infamous Tiananmen Square incident by saying residents would rise up against federal agents.
Johnston emphasized Denver’s commitment to protecting illegal migrants and maintaining its sanctuary city status, saying it would not be “bullied” by the incoming Trump administration.
“We’re not going to sell out those values to anyone,” Johnston told the Denverite in an interview. “We’re not going to be bullied into changing them.”
