The mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City were invited to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding their sanctuary city policies for illegal immigrants.
“Sanctuary jurisdictions and their misguided and obstructionist policies hinder the ability of federal law enforcement officers to effectuate safe arrests and remove dangerous criminals from American communities, making Americans less safe,” committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) wrote in the letters to each mayor.
Comer’s letter requested documents and information related to each city’s sanctuary policies and invited Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams to testify on February 11.

Comer also accused sanctuary jurisdictions of taking it “upon themselves to decide what laws they will and will not abide by all for the purpose of shielding removable aliens, especially criminals, from federal law enforcement.”
While there are 12 states and hundreds of cities that qualify as sanctuary jurisdictions, Comer said Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City “stand out in their abject failure to comply with federal law.”
Chairman Comer will be <a href="https://x.com/GOPoversight/status/1883998691507462467/photo/4">launching an investigation</a> into the mayors, according to a post on X by the House Oversight Committee.
“All four major cities are sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, which is impacting public safety and the effectiveness of federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws of the United States,” the tweet states.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boston-mayor-doubles-down-on-defying-trump-deportations-as-ma-police-arrest-migrants-for-child-rape">previously reported</a> on Wu’s plans to defy Trump&#8217;s deportations in November, stating she had no intention of rolling out the welcome mat” for the Trump administration.
“What we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way; that we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and having large-scale economic impacts,” Wu said at the time.
Trump border czar Tom Homan responded to Wu, questioning her intelligence and stating that she should either help or “get the hell out of the way,”
“She’s not very smart, I’ll give her that,” Homan said. “President Trump’s going to prioritize public safety threats. What mayor or governor doesn’t want public safety threats out of their communities? That’s your number one responsibility, to protect your communities, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
Thousands of migrants have been deported so far under the Trump administration including pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists. Extremely violent offenders have been deported from the Boston area including eight <a href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/extremely-violent-offenders-undocumented-migrants-with-criminal-records-nabbed-boston-ice-raid/KXKS25PYLBB2VMQ7BRTZX2SPRA/">last week,</a> who were gang members or criminals charged with crimes ranging from sexual assault to rape and murder.
