Rep. Cloud to Newsmax: Sanctuary City Mayors 'Defend the Indefensible'

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.
