Democratic mayors from New York, Denver, Boston, and Chicago are set to defend their sanctuary city policies in a Republican-led congressional hearing. These mayors have promised to welcome migrants, contrary to accusations that their policies protect criminals and undermine federal deportation efforts. The hearing represents a politically charged confrontation as the Trump administration seeks to undermine sanctuary cities and enforce stricter immigration laws. The mayors are preparing to argue that their local policies make cities safer by encouraging undocumented immigrants to report crimes without fear of deportation.
"We want folks to come here, whether you're coming from Cleveland or California or Caracas," Denver Mayor Mike Johnston told the 'City Cast Denver'..."
"The summons to testify made clear the tone, calling the cities' policies - which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities to varying degrees - 'misguided and obstructionist.'"
