Denver has directed city police to protect peaceful protesters and to detain federal immigration agents who use excessive or deadly force as a result of a new executive order signed by Mayor Mike Johnston.
"If we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident, we will step in to detain that officer and remove them from the situation," Johnston said at a press conference. "We hold our own officers to that standard, and we will hold any ICE agent to the same."
