Rand Paul Accuses Leftist Denver Mayor Of INSURRECTION
GOP Senator Rand Paul has suggested that the leftist Mayor of Denver could be turfed out of office for vowing to defy president-elect Trump’s mass deportation plans.
Appearing on CBS News, Paul said Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s open defiance of federal immigration laws would be “a form of insurrection” and would make it to the Supreme Court.
Johnston’s has stated that he will make Denver a “fortress of resistance” to protect illegal immigrants, promising to mobilise police officers and encourage residents to form human barricades to obstruct federal authorities.
BREAKING: The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado, issued a statement saying that he will use City Police and citizens to physically block federal forces from deporting illegals.

“The mayor of Denver, if he’s going to resist federal law, which is a long-standing history of the supremacy of federal law, if he’s going to resist that, it will go all the way to the Supreme Court,” Senator Paul noted.
He continued, “I would suspect that he would be removed from office. I don’t know whether or not there’d be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal law, but he will lose.”
“People need to realise that what he is offering is a form of insurrection where the states resist the federal government,” Paul further warned.
“Most people objected to that and rejected that long ago. So think the mayor of Denver is on the wrong side of history, and really, I think, will face legal ramifications if he doesn’t obey the federal law,” he added.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says he supports President-elect Donald Trump's plan for mass deportations, but not his suggestion of using the military for it, "because it's illegal."

During the interview, Paul doubled down on his opposition to Trump using the military to enforce deportations.
“You know, I’m 100% supportive of going after the 15,000 murderers, the 13,000 sexual assault perpetrators, rapists—let’s send them on their way to prison or back home to another prison,” Paul stated.
But he further explained, “We’ve had a long-standing distrust of putting the Army into our streets. The police understand the Fourth Amendment. They go to judges, get warrants, and ensure specificity. So, I’m for removing these people, but through the normal process of domestic policing.”
As we highlighted, some are angry with Paul for taking this position, saying that Trump needs to do what is necessary to save the country, regardless of optics.
