Tom Homan,
Donald Trump’s hardline incoming border czar,
has threatened to put the mayor of
Denver in jail after the latter said he was willing to risk incarceration to resist the president-elect’s migrant mass deportation plan.
The threat was issued against Mike Johnston, a Democrat, who said he was not afraid of being jailed and encouraged people to protest against mass round-ups of immigrants in their cities and communities.
Johnston’s remarks came after
Trump focused during the presidential election campaign on the Denver suburb of Aurora, which he said had become “a war zone” where apartment buildings had been taken over by Venezuelan gang members.
Asked to respond by Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Homan said: “Me and the
Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he’s willing to go to jail. I’m willing to put him in jail.”
