The liberal ‘sanctuary city’ of Denver, Colorado is experiencing an outbreak of law and order, following the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants by ICE. Who knew such a thing could happen?
Homicides in Denver and other Colorado cities are down by a whopping 60 percent. Are liberals still going to argue against the policy of deporting people in the country illegally? Are they still going to try to defend members of MS-13 and other gangs?
It’s almost like enforcing laws works out well for law abiding citizens. Almost.
FOX 31 in Denver reports:
Newly released report says homicides dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025
Homicides are down nearly 60% in Denver so far this year, according to the newly released report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
It’s a significant drop from last year and one of the biggest declines in violent crime rates in the country.
“Violent crime is just about reducing in every city, but we were the city in which it had declined the most,” said Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas.
Thomas says he is proud to have that distinction, and it speaks to the hard work of his officers.
“We’ve been able to see these significant reductions in crime without over policing communities,” said Thomas. “It’s one of the things we have understood was important and we need to be responsive, but we need to make sure we’re investing as much as we’re enforcing.”
Independent journalist Sara Carter commented:
This marked decrease in violence comes after intensified immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, which had made the Denver metropolitan area a key focus for removals of criminal migrants. ICE has acted swiftly, arresting 538 illegal aliens across multiple cities, including Denver. Shortly thereafter, the agency expanded its efforts in Colorado, zeroing in on members of Tren de Aragua.
Breitbart News reports that despite these federal initiatives, local Democratic leaders resisted cooperation with ICE. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Governor Jared Polis were among those who worked to oppose the administration’s actions, which prompted the Trump administration to initiate legal action against Denver and state officials for obstructing federal immigration enforcement.
These are the kind of results that Democrats and the media don’t want the public to see. They don’t want people to know that we don’t have to live with rampant crime and that Trump’s policies work.
