Denver mayor orders protection of protesters, ban on ICE from city property

Mayor Mike Johnston's order directs police to protect protesters, ban ICE from city property, and intervene against excessive force amid a 200% rise in immigration arrests, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston signed an executive order banning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from city property and directing the Denver Police Department to protect peaceful protesters, saying `In Denver, we will not allow ICE access to any city-owned or city-controlled building.`
  • Operation Metro Surge has sent thousands of federal officers into large cities, with ongoing Denver operations since last year and a Minnesota surge ending earlier this month amid two citizen deaths.
  • The order also bans law enforcement officers from covering their faces during detentions and arrests, and requires police to identify and record ICE agents with body cameras when tactically safe.
