Democratic mayors from New York, Denver, Boston, and Chicago are anticipated to defend their sanctuary city policies during a hearing led by House Republicans. Accused of hindering President Trump's immigration deportation efforts, they may face aggressive questioning and criticism as Republican leaders, known for their hardline stances, push back against these policies. The mayors aim to affirm their cities' commitment to safety and legality while managing the political ramifications of increasing scrutiny on their handling of immigration and resource allocation amid rising migrant numbers.
The upcoming hearing will pit Democratic mayors against House Republicans, who accuse them of undermining President Trump's immigration policies, straining city resources and endangering residents.
The mayors are expected to navigate the challenging political landscape by defending their sanctuary policies while avoiding potential missteps that can be weaponized in future campaigns.
