0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Liberals in Denver hate President Trump's deportation crackdown, so now

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>they've come up with a way to fight back, and

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>The Washington Post says that it was surprisingly simple. Here's

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the backdrop. When an illegal immigrant is busted for a crime,

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the federal government requires that ICE be notified if the

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>crime carries a sentence of a year or more. So

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>here's what liberals in Denver did. They rewrote their laws.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Many of the crimes that used to trigger ICE notification

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>will no longer carry a sentence of a year. See

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Surprisingly simple crimes like shoplifting and trespassing will be punished

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>less severely. Serve a few months in jail and you walk.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 1>But under the new approach, the sentences for domestic violence

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and simple assault have also been reduced. Only repeat offenders

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>would be sentenced to a year or more. So you

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>get that. To protect illegal aliens or deportation, liberals in

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Denver just gave all first time domestic violence of vendors

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>a break. A guy who beats his wife or girlfriend

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>now serves less time in jail. He might even be

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>able to get away with it twice, depending on how

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>repeat offender is defined. Now, if he happens to be

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>an illegal alien, domestic abuser. Denver liberals want to make

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>sure he's not deported so that he can stay here

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and do it again. Also, they can claim victory resisting Trump.

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>See surprisingly simple, You just gave your own culture m
