Denver Mayor should be prosecuted.
NEW: The city of Denver has released video showing ICE chasing down & arresting a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member who had just been released from jail after Denver refused to hand him over to ICE inside the safety of facility due to sanctuary policy. Instead, he was street released and fled upon seeing ICE agents. ICE says he assaulted an agent while being taken into custody.
@9news reports that ICE requested a 48 hour heads up on his release, but they received that notification from the Denver Co. jail 90 minutes beforehand via email.
ICE says it makes no sense for sanctuary policy to ban transfers inside the jail, where it is safer for everyone. In this case, six ICE officers had to show up to apprehend the uncuffed TdA gang member after he was released from the jail.
Denver Mike Johnston says he reached out to ICE yesterday and is asking to sit down with them to discuss “best procedures” moving forward.
