**Sanctuary Cities Under Fire: House Oversight Committee Demands Answers from Major City Leaders**
The issue of sanctuary cities is back in the spotlight as the House Oversight Committee calls upon the mayors of major cities, including Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City, to testify regarding their controversial policies that shield illegal immigrants from federal law enforcement.
**Chairman James Comer** (R-KY) has taken the initiative to address what he describes as "misguided and obstructionist" policies that hinder federal action against dangerous criminals residing in these cities.
In a letter to the mayors, Comer articulated the committee's concerns, noting that these sanctuary jurisdictions foster a climate of lawlessness that endangers American communities.
"Sanctuary jurisdictions take it upon themselves to decide which laws they will abide by, all for the purpose of shielding removable aliens, especially criminals, from federal law enforcement," Comer wrote, as he expressed intent to investigate these mayors' actions thoroughly.
The House Oversight Committee's scrutiny comes in light of rising crime rates in several of these cities, linked to their sanctuary policies.
Comer and his colleagues argue that these policies impair the federal government's ability to enforce immigration laws effectively, thereby jeopardizing public safety.
In response to the sanctuary policies, Trump’s former border czar, **Tom Homan**, has not held back in criticizing officials like Boston Mayor **Michelle Wu**. Homan questioned her commitment to public safety, stating bluntly, “What mayor or governor doesn’t want public safety threats out of their communities?”
The ongoing immigration crisis underscores the urgency of this investigation, with thousands of deportations carried out under previous administrations, including violent offenders such as gang members and sexual predators.
Homan highlighted a recent wave of deportations in the Boston area, where eight gang members with serious criminal charges were removed, further raising concerns about the effectiveness of sanctuary policies in protecting local residents.
As the situation unfolds, Republicans in Congress are making it clear that prioritizing the safety of American citizens remains their top agenda, urging local leaders to cooperate with federal authorities for the welfare of their communities.
The upcoming testimonies from these mayors promise to shed light on the implications of these sanctuary policies on public safety and federal law enforcement, as the battle over immigration continues to be a pressing issue in American politics.
