Denver Mayor Mike Johnston signed an executive order on Feb. 26 directing local law enforcement to protect protesters and prohibit federal immigration agents from using city property.

Johnston said that his order would enable Denver’s law enforcement agencies “to intervene in instances of force that could cause death or serious bodily injury by immigration enforcement agents” and provide medical emergency aid to protesters harmed by federal agents.
