Denver Councilwoman Encourages Reporting of ICE Activity
Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore of Denver, Colorado, has encouraged local residents to report ICE activity to her network of volunteers. This comes amidst a national debate on immigration and President Trump's vow to crack down on illegal immigration.
Gilmore's call to action follows a viral video of alleged Venezuelan gang members in Aurora, Colorado. President Trump had promised to expedite the removal of such gangs during a campaign rally in the state.
Gilmore has used social media to provide instructions on reporting ICE activity, including taking photos or videos, recording the time, date, and location, and noting the government agencies involved. She has also shared resources for illegal residents, including legal aid, jobs, and training.
However, not all Colorado residents agree with Gilmore's stance. Republicans have condemned Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's vow to block ICE agents from carrying out deportations and the city's spending of taxpayer dollars on services for migrants.
Councilman Roger Hudson, representing a small town south of Denver, argues that Denver has accepted too many migrants since 2022, straining the city's resources and impacting services like public schools and parks. He believes the city's approach to immigration is detrimental to its well-being.

Gilmore should focus on actual issues, not coddling criminals. Our tax dollars should be used for our citizens, not illegals.
