Denver orders police to defend peaceful anti-ICE protesters
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston signed an executive order directing the city police to aid peaceful anti-ICE protesters, including authority to detain ICE officers who use excessive force and to de-escalate confrontations; the order requires medical aid for protesters, directs investigations into alleged ICE abuses on Denver streets, and prohibits city property from being used for enforcement operations, signaling local pushback against federal immigration enforcement amid wider national debate.
