Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) told four Democratic mayors of sanctuary cities she referred them to the Department of Justice (DOJ) because she believes they are breaking federal laws.
She told Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams:
After this line of questioning, it’s very clear that these policies that you have all implicated are active and alive and well in your cities are in direct violation with U.S. Title VIII Code, Subsection 1324 and is a federal offense.But you all speak about a broken immigration system. And yet here you guys are aiding and abetting in that entire process. I want to be very clear about something. Open border policies, which is something that you guys are talking about, hurts people on both sides, meaning the people that are coming here illegally and the American citizens as well.I do not think you guys are bad people, but I think that you are ideologically misled which is why, unfortunately, based on your responses, I’m going to be criminally referring you to the Department of Justice for investigation and as soon as I leave here, these will be going over to Pam Bondi.I’m not doing that to an effort to bully you guys, but I do believe that your policies are hurting the American people, and you can make that known with the evidence that you can present to the Department of Justice, but if you guys continue doing what you’re doing, you’re not going to help anyone. You’re going to hurt more people, and, that’s exactly why I’m tired of it. The american people are tired of it.
The DOJ does not have to open an investigation. Luna’s referral is only a formal notice.
Luna made the declaration during a House Oversight hearing with the four mayors.
Only Adams has taken steps to work with federal law enforcement to stop illegal aliens, especially those who are wanted for or already convicted of violent crimes.
Johnson tried to boast about Chicago, claiming homicides have gone down in the city.
Yeah…other crime has gone up. Don’t forget Johnson has a 7% approval rating. He faces constant badgering from constituents about illegal aliens and shelters in their neighborhoods.
