President Trump has said he wants to put an end to so-called sanctuary cities. It’s all part of Trump’s plan to deport millions of migrants in the U.S. illegally, putting a spotlight on cities like Denver and San Francisco that have challenged federal immigration enforcement. Border czar Tom Homan has even threatened putting Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for opposing Trump’s mass deportations in the city.
