Tancredo: “Fighting a Sanctuary City Mayor”

Tom Tancredo’s campaign went on the offensive Monday, sending out a fundraising e-mail from prominent conservative Bay Buchanan attacking Democratic opponent John Hickenlooper’s immigration policies.

Buchanan blames Denver mayor Hickenlooper for the lax immigration enforcement policies that resulted in the 2005 death of a Denver police detective, and the 2008 deaths of three people an Aurora ice cream parlor.
