Rep. Cloud to Newsmax: Sanctuary City Mayors 'Defend the Indefensible'
By Nicole Weatherholtz    |   Thursday, 06 March 2025 11:00 AM EST
 
Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Thursday it was "pretty astounding" for sanctuary city mayors to come before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to "defend the indefensible" — shielding illegal immigrants from being removed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"It's very clear that lawlessness is not compassion, yet they continue to try to put these sanctuary city policies that lead to crime, that shield illegal aliens, criminal aliens, from being arrested and try to defend that kind of attitude," Cloud said on "Wake Up America." "It's just unbelievable that they continue to tout that line."

Democrat mayors Michelle Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Mike Johnston of Denver, and Eric Adams of New York came before the committee Wednesday to defend their sanctuary city policies, which they say make their cities welcoming places and which committee Republicans say have created lawless danger zones.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Until there are con$equence$ for sanctuary cities, nothing will change.

Congress needs to pass laws so any enforcement action against those cities can hold up in court.
