tHaunand appeared on the streets last Wednesday and Saturday as protesters expressed undocumented rage and solidarity in Donald Trump’s immigration war.
“We’re here to fight for our neighbors, stand together and say no to the threat from the Trump administration,” said local artist Amanda Starks at Saturday’s rally, and the law was evident. We distribute literature to immigrants about the rights of the people.
She added: “I think this is worse than 2016 when the GOP thought he was going to stand up to Trump. Now they’re all Christian nationalist yes men, and we’re opposed to something bigger this time. But we’re bringing together this community.”
The US president has a special interest in the historically immigration-friendly state of Colorado, a gang member operation named after the suburbs of Denver who he claims to have been “taken over” by conservative media. Venezuelan gangster Tren de Aragua (TDA) calls deportation plans for Operation Aurora.
One of the executive orders signed on Trump’s first inauguration was to cut funds and send a stopwork order to Colorado’s nonprofit Rocky Mountain Immigration Advocacy Network (RMIAN). Due to the large number of people in need, Colorado has one of the lowest rates of legal representation for undocumented immigrants.
Then, last week, a large armed SWAT team began raiding apartments around Denver and the Aurora in the early hours of the morning. Sometimes Fox’s news crews were embedded in the team, but there have been 30 arrests and confirmed that there is only one member of the gang. In detention.
Many local residents are coming together to show their support whenever possible, as the state of Colorado’s approximately 155,000 undocumented immigrants fear safety.
Despite their set-up, last week RMIAN was able to offer immigration law conflict courses to 100 Colorado lawyers, despite not working in the field.
Whenever an ice attack is discovered, volunteers from groups like the Immigrant Legal Resource Center are often at hand, providing literature on the legal rights of those under siege. At a Saturday rally outside Denver’s state capitol, the activist with the megaphone led a chant of legal advice and responses, urging the crowd, “When the ice is coming out?” Then there is a collective roar: “Don’t open the door!”
Protestors and artist Starks, along with many others, attends weekly gatherings at local Methodist churches on how to play a best role in the legal needs of immigrants. One organizer placed voter turnout at a meeting of more than 1,500 people last Monday.
Many activists speaking at Saturday’s rally have expressed light emptying against CBZ Management, a New York-based property management company. It oversaw several properties in Aurora and Denver and was fined or closed for inadequate and negligent living conditions. Last August, CBZ Management’s Zev Baumgarten was accused by Mayor Aurora of being an “out-of-state slum road” and claimed that one of Aurora’s apartments was overtaken by members of the TDA gang. service.
This unfolds in time for Trump to parrot his claims in the presidential debate against Kamala Harris in a few weeks, and eventually Aurora became an unlikely campaign spot for Republican candidates .
For decades, Colorado has developed a reputation for welcoming migrants who have come across the US-Mexico border, especially when they are under siege from many people in the country.
In the 1990s, when Democrats were drawn to the right on issues like immigration, Denver mayor Wellington Webb opposed the tide, criticising federal persecution of immigrants in a 1998 executive order, and the state’s capital “We would declare that everyone would be welcome to share,” Denver’s warm hospitality.
He argued that “we must respect this diversity and ensure that the rights of all residents are protected,” and Denver “will not tolerate discrimination in any way.”
But the violent anti-immigrant activists of Republicans have represented in Colorado at this point, including the form of Rep. Tom Tancredo, who at this point formed a political career attacking the Denver Library to raise Spanish-speaking books. I found someone. He sought out Denver High School students, stripped off federal funds from “sanctuary cities” and called on the US to reject “multicultural cults.”
Tancredo’s decade as a lawmaker from 1999 to 2009, along with his failed bid for the presidency and governor, helped build the architecture of the narrative of what would become America’s great.
Despite the protests in Denver last Wednesday and Saturday, parts of the state have retained enough conservative voters to keep Trump’s loyalty, like Representative Lauren Beaubert, in their offices.
Boebert recently joined forces with Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Police with two other Colorado representatives to repeal a set of laws protecting immigration rights in Colorado. . Often called “democratic libertarians,” police support the core of Trump’s deportation program.
“Hey police, where are you? You have courage, how about you?” The crowd at the rally on Saturday chanted as they walked through downtown Denver, leaving the Capitol building.
The march eventually returned peacefully to the Capitol. There, more literature was distributed and future gatherings were presented.
“We take these threats very seriously (from Trump),” he said, hosting a party for socialism and liberation, recording the ice attacks and posting locations on social media. Yes, said Katie Leonard, one of the organizers. The arrival of more volunteers often shout advice to residents about their rights through megaphones or blow up the neighborhood with useful leaflets.
“But the crucial factor in what happens here is when these ice attacks come and they cut people off indiscriminately, if people know their rights, if the community is prepared. That’s it,” she said.
