Congress Summons Far-left Sanctuary City Mayors to Testify at a Committee Hearing on Protecting Criminal Aliens from Federal Law Enforcement

(L-R) Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has initiated a bold inquiry into the protective policies of notorious sanctuary cities against federal law enforcement.

This inquiry targets mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City on their controversial stances on non-cooperation with federal immigration authorities, which Comer criticizes as “misguided and obstructionist policies that jeopardize American safety.”

Each of these cities has enacted measures that limit cooperation with federal efforts to apprehend and deport illegal immigrants, particularly those with criminal records.

Recall that Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu made headlines last November with her interview with WCVB, where she vowed that Boston would not cooperate with the incoming administration’s deportation efforts.

“But what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way, that we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and having large-scale economic impact,” she said.

Also, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has declared his willingness to defy federal law and face jail time to protect illegal immigrants—including those with criminal records—from President-elect Donald Trump’s promised deportation efforts.

“If I believe that our residents are having their rights violated, if I think things are happening that are illegal or immoral or un-American in our city, I would certainly protest it, and I would expect other residents would do the same,” Johnston said.

When pressed by 9NEWS about the possibility of jail time for his actions, Johnston said, “I’m not afraid of that.”

According to the news release, “Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City are sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Sanctuary jurisdictions are “states, counties or cities that put some limits on how much they are willing to cooperate with federal agencies’ efforts to deport” illegal aliens. These jurisdictions take it upon themselves to decide what laws they will and will not abide by all for the purpose of shielding removable aliens, especially criminals, from federal law enforcement. There are about 12 states and hundreds of cities and counties with sanctuary laws or policies across the country.”

On February 11, 2025, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will conduct a pivotal hearing, demanding detailed accounts and communications regarding sanctuary practices from these city leaders.

“The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States and their impact on public safety and the effectiveness of federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws of the United States,” said Chairman Comer in a statement.

“Sanctuary jurisdictions and their misguided and obstructionist policies hinder the ability of federal law enforcement officers to effectuate safe arrests and remove dangerous criminals from American communities, making Americans less safe.”

“On the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump took decisive actions to restore the rule of law with respect to immigration enforcement,” continued Chairman Comer.

“In addition to the efforts of the Trump Administration to ensure federal immigration enforcement can proceed unimpeded, Congress must determine whether further legislation is necessary to enhance border security and public safety. It is imperative that federal immigration law is enforced and that criminal aliens are swiftly removed from our communities.”

Chairman Comer’s request to the mayors includes a comprehensive list of documents and communications related to their sanctuary policies dating back to January 1, 2024.

He demands a confirmation of their testimonies by February 4, 2025, setting the stage for a confrontational examination of these policies’ impacts on national and local safety.
