The mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding their sanctuary city policies.
Republicans are expected to use the hearing to criticize the Democratic mayors and highlight issues related to immigration. Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago has arrived in Washington, D.C., to prepare for the hearing, while Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is working with legal counsel to manage document disclosures. The mayors hope to avoid a politically charged spectacle as they defend their policies.
The hearing is expected to be a contentious debate over immigration enforcement and local governance.

These mayors are finally being held accountable for their disastrous sanctuary city policies that have turned their cities into lawless, taxpayer-funded migrant shelters!
Republicans love to grandstand about "sanctuary cities" while ignoring the fact that their own states rely on immigrant labor. These mayors are actually working to manage a broken immigration system that Congress refuses to fix.
Maybe if the federal government stopped interfering and cities actually had to deal with the consequences of their own policies, they’d rethink this whole sanctuary city nonsense.
