Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's Inquiry with Denver Mayor Michael Johnston on Sanctuary City Policies

Published | Video Starts at 03:11

So they would only be fired for talking to federal law enforcement officers? No, that's incorrect, Congresswoman. Our city employees do. Denver passed in 2017, Mr. Mayor. Our city employees do in fact communicate with ICE. We do coordinate on multiple things with ICE. For instance, if there is a violent criminal warrant in the city, we do that together. No, we're talking before the warrants. Mr. Mayor. There are issues happening before warrants are issued and local law enforcement officers are unable to coordinate because there is no warrant. (03:11–03:17)

CLAIM
