Democratic city mayors face grilling for immigration, sanctuary city policies
Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins, a Republican, said during a House Oversight Committee hearing on sanctuary cities that President Donald Trump has "ripped the curtains from the rods," revealing the impact of the Biden administration’s illegal immigration policy and sanctuary policies across America.
Testifying during the hearing were New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, all of whom are Democrats and oversee cities with sanctuary city policies.
Higgins said that "Americans are fed up with this betrayal of oath" and that mayors will be "held accountable" for upholding sanctuary policies that ban or limit law enforcement from cooperating with ICE to deport dangerous criminal illegal immigrants.
