The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday morning will hear from four Democratic mayors in a hearing where they will be expected to defend their cities’ sanctuary status — which has faced scrutiny by President Trump and Republican lawmakers.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chair of the committee, launched a probe into the cities and their impact on federal immigration enforcement earlier this year. In letters sent to the mayors, he requested communications related to their policies around immigration.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are set to testify.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
