The Trump administration has added Colorado and capital Denver to the list of states and municipalities the administration has sued to overturn their unlawful sanctuary laws and policies.
Filed last week, the lawsuit says the state and city are trespassing the Supremacy Clause of the federal Constitution by interfering with the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
The Centennial State and Mile High City are the sixth and seventh jurisdictions targeted by the U.S. Justice Department. In February, DOJ sued New York and New York City and Illinois, Chicago, and surrounding Cook County. At the time, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned that illegal-alien sanctuaries had better lawyer up.
Just after President Donald Trump shellacked former Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5, far-left Denver Mayor Mike Johnston firmly said he would incite a rebellion and insurrection against federal authorities if they tried to carry out Trump’s plan for mass deportations.

Highlights include probation officers not being allowed to contact ICE when illegal aliens who served jail time are released back onto the streets. In fact, there is a $50,000 fine for trying to notify ICE. pic.twitter.com/Xvmkj4DTFd
