Sen. Rand Paul Warns Democrat Mayor May Be Removed From Office If He Obstructs Federal Immigration Officials
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, a Democrat, may be removed from office if he obstructs federal immigration officials from carrying out mass deportations.
“The mayor of Denver, if he’s going to resist federal law, which there’s a long standing history of the supremacy of federal law, if he’s going to resist that, it will go all the way to the Supreme Court,” Paul said.
“And I would suspect that he would be removed from office. I don’t know whether or not there’d be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal law. But he will lose,” he continued.
“People need to realize that what he is offering is a form of insurrection where the states resist the federal government. Most people objected to that and rejected that long ago. So I think the Mayor of Denver is on the wrong side of history and really, I think will face legal ramifications if he doesn’t obey the federal law,” he added.

The Daily Wire reports:
Paul’s comments come after far-Left mayor Mike Johnston said that he would deploy the Denver Police Department “at the county line” to keep Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents out.
Johnston said that it would turn into a “Tiananmen Square moment” and that he was “not afraid” of being arrested.
Paul, who sits on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told CBS News that Johnston will be removed from office if he tries to obstruct ICE from operating inside Denver.

From the New York Post:
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 US.
“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 apparently prepared to go to the mat against the federal government.
Roughly 40,000 migrants have flocked to the Mile High City since December 2022 — the largest number of new arrivals per capita across the nation.
With that influx came a surge in migrant crime tied to the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.
