Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Thursday issued an executive order directing city police to intervene during clashes involving federal immigration officers, saying that local law enforcement has a duty to protect people’s civil rights and provide aid to Denver residents.

Johnston’s order also requires local police to identify and record Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using body cameras when “tactically safe,” and confirms the Denver Police Department will investigate criminal allegations made against ICE agents. […]

The executive order calls on local police to de-escalate clashes between immigration officers and protesters. It also says they have a duty to intervene when force is used by federal agents that “could cause death or serious bodily injury,” and requires officers to provide life-saving aid.

An American mayor needing to protect American residents from the atrocities of the American government. Our country is immeasurably broken.
