President-elect Donald Trump’s “border czar” claimed Monday he will throw the mayor of Denver, Colorado, in prison if his city resists Trump’s efforts to deport millions of immigrants from the United States.

“Me and the mayor of Denver agree on one thing: He’s ready to go to prison, I’m ready to put him in prison,” Tom Homan said during an appearance on Fox News. Hannity.

Homan responded to an interview last week in which Mayor Mike Johnston said Denverite He would call local police to block federal forces mobilized by Trump to round up immigrants.

He also suggested that the community would rise up against them.

“More than we (Denver Police Department) would have stationed at the county line to keep them out, there would be 50,000 Denver residents there,” Johnston said.

“It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? There were all these Highland mothers who were there for the migrants. And you don’t want to mess with them.”

Johnston added that he would explore creating city work permits if Trump follows through on his promise to bar immigrants from working.

His comments immediately became fodder for conservative cable news and MAGA sycophants like Elon Musk, who tweeted, “The mayor of Denver hates his voters.”

During an appearance on CBS Face the nationSen. Rand Paul (R-KY) accused the mayor of advocating a “form of insurrection.”

Johnston later softened his stance on city police’s blockade of federal agents, but reiterated his support for mass protests against any deportation efforts.

Homan, meanwhile, promised that federal officials would carry out the deportations no matter what Johnston thinks.

“I don’t know what the hell is going on in Denver, but we’re going to fix it,” he said. “If he doesn’t want to fix the problem, if he doesn’t want to protect his communities, President Trump and ICE will.”

Homan is a hardened former Border Patrol agent who served as interim head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Trump from January 2017 to June 2018.

He was not confirmed by the U.S. Senate, while his new role does not require confirmation.

During Trump’s second term, he will be responsible for the U.S. land and maritime borders, including enforcing the president-elect’s promise to mass deport millions of people using federal or even military personnel.
