GOP Rep. Informs ‘Sanctuary’ Mayors They’ll Be Criminally Referred To DOJ Mid-Hearing

A heated exchange erupted on Capitol Hill Wednesday as House Republicans aggressively questioned Democratic mayors over their sanctuary city policies, accusing them of obstructing federal immigration enforcement. In a dramatic moment Wednesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she would be referring all four mayors present for criminal investigation, alleging their policies violate federal law.

The mayors of New York City, Denver, Boston, and Chicago appeared before Congress to defend their local immigration policies, which limit cooperation with federal authorities in detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. The Republican-led committee framed these policies as aiding and abetting illegal immigration, while the mayors maintained they were in full compliance with all applicable laws.

During the contentious hearing, Luna pressed Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on his city’s restrictions against transferring individuals into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. “So you don’t believe that banning the transfer of individuals into ICE custody for the purpose of civil immigration enforcement encourages illegal immigration into Chicago?” Luna asked.

Johnson pushed back, claiming, “We comply with all laws, local, state, and federal.”

Luna then cited U.S. Code Title 8, Section 1324, which makes it a federal crime to knowingly harbor or shield illegal immigrants from detection. She accused the mayors of violating this statute through their sanctuary policies.

“To me, after this line of questioning, it’s very clear that these policies that you have all implicated are active and alive and well in your cities, and they are in direct violation of federal law,” Luna said. “You all speak about a broken immigration system, and yet here you guys are aiding and abetting in that entire process.”

Why tell them, just do it ... They ain't gonna change, just go underground with their activities.

I remember during the Hillary time. It seemed like every week someone would push an article saying they had 'absolute proof' which they intend to release in a week, or in ten days, or in two weeks. Everyone was yelling, "Don't publish it ... Just f**kin do it!"

Nothing ever happened. It was amazing. Some of them wound up dead. Some were lying. Some were bought out.

But it really happened all the time. Trey Gowdy for one example of many, "We have all the proof we need." And a week later, *poof* it all just disappeared and went away, every single time.

The phrase, "Release the Kracken" became a joke.

Commiecrats did it as a routine action to try and trap people on the right.
