An illegal alien gang member has been caught on camera assaulting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer after the sanctuary city of Denver, Colorado, set him free to the “streets,” according to new records.

At a hearing on Wednesday, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) was one of four Democrat mayors to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding their cities’ sanctuary policies.

Johnston famously suggested last year that he would be willing to go to jail to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) grilled Johnston over the case of Abraham Gonzalez, a known illegal alien gang member of Venezuela’s violent Tren de Aragua. Gonzalez was first released into the United States in September 2023 by former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Only a few months after being released into the U.S. interior, Gonzalez was arrested for aggravated assault. In March 2024 he was arrested for motor vehicle theft and felony menacing.
