Mayor Michael Hancock just said on a Zoom call hosted by NAACP Denver that yesterday was his last day of quarantine following his cross-country travel to spend Thanksgiving with his daughter.
Besides for those very initial interviews with reporters (maybe just a single reporter) after the Thanksgiving travel news broke, I believe this was Hancock's first public appearance since that fiasco.
This was a safe first public appearance for the mayor, since the Zoom call was hosted by one of his supporters. People commenting in the chat asked about the Thanksgiving travel, the OIM report, and the letter about Cordova's resignation.
Hancock's answers were pretty standard. I didn't hear anything that struck me as particularly noteworthy.

Spending tonight in a tent at the safe outdoor space in Uptown. Residents move in tomorrow. The ice fishing tent I’m staying in has a heating pad and a heated blanket. Excited to let y’all know what it’s like. ImageImageImage
I definitely didn’t forgot to bring a flashlight and am not sitting in a dark tent right now.
I got here at 4:15. There were about a half dozen staff from the Colorado Village Collaborative milling about, putting the finishing touches on the site so it’s ready to welcome guests tmrw. The site has capacity for 40 folks. The site manager says she already has 50 on a list.

Here in Greenwood Village for a protest concert outside City Hall featuring The Lumineers and Nathaniel Rateliff. They’re protesting against a recent resolution by GV City Council that says the city will cover police officers financially for civil liability issues in all cases.
The resolution came in response to SB-217, a sweeping police reform & accountability reform bill for the state of Colorado. For lawsuits, officers could be held financially accountable for up to $25,000 in incidents where they acted in bad faith or knowingly did something illegal
The resolution from GV City Council said the city would always have the back financially of its police officers. In other words, the city would never find that an officer had acted in bad faith.

With the Stapleton neighborhood set to change its name, I spoke with Bob Goldberg, a top expert on the history of KKK in Colorado, to find out more about Mayor Ben Stapleton. Goldberg believes Stapleton's decision to join the KKK in the early-1920s was all about political power.
"I would call him a political animal. I never had a sense that he was prejudiced personally. Ben Stapleton was ambitious, and he allowed his ambition to disrupt his moral compass. He thought, 'I want to be mayor, and I will make a compromise to be mayor and stay as mayor.'"
Even though he was the Klan's choice to become Denver mayor in 1923, Stapleton kept his ties to the group quiet. But when he won the election that year, Stapleton, a good friend of Colorado Grand Dragon John Galen Locke, began installing Klan members to key posts in his admin.

Matthew Albence, the acting director of ICE, is saying that if New York and Denver law enforcement officials continue to refuse the agency's subpoena requests, then the officials "can show up to court with a toothbrush because they might not be going home that night."
Albence said this at a press conference two days ago. He's also hoping this more aggressive approach against so-called sanctuary cities will scare other jurisdictions into cooperating.
"Hopefully maybe when some of these other jurisdictions that don't want to cooperate will see and maybe they'll come around and try to help their own communities," Albence said.
