Has Denver lawfully seceded from the United States? I feel like I would 
have heard about it if it had happened but maybe I missed it....

If Denver remains part of America, I'm pretty sure he has to obey the 
law. I don't recall any exceptions for mayors of largish cities in the 
Constitution. What's it called if you declare in advance that you will 
not obey a law and in fact threaten to use force on a substantial scale 
to avoid obeying it? That's sedition isn't it? Or does it qualify as 
treason? Either way, the mayor seems to be talking himself into a jail 
cell. Or maybe even a civil war if he actually persuades Denverites to 
do what he's threatening and open fire on ICE employees.

Maybe as a courtesy Trump or his border czar should send them a lawyer 
to brief them on the law before Johnston does anything crazy....
