Republicans push back against so -called shrines and jurisdictions as president Donald Trump Helps plans for mass deportations.
“All mayors here work active today to harm the American people that you represent,” said Rep. Nancy Mace, RS.C., the mayors of four shrines during a hearing of the Huis Oversight Committee on Wednesday. “You all have blood in your hands.”
The comments, who were addressed to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson, mayor of Denver Mike Johnston and Mayor of New York City Eric AdamsCome if the Trump government continues to push the rapid deportations of illegal immigrants who promised the president on the campaign track.
But those efforts have been hindered by jurisdictions of shrines, which have adopted rules that limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities, in particular by the American immigration -Douane and Customs enforcement agency (ICE).

The four mayors who testified during the hearing of Wednesday represented some of the greatest jurisdictions of the sanctuary in the country, a policy that has generated controversy in the midst of several controversial crimes committed by Illegal immigrants.
“Sanctuary mayors owe the American people an explanation for city policy that endangers public safety and endangers federal immigration legislation by bringing dangerous criminal illegal aliens back to the streets,” said House Committee on Supervision and Government Retirement Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.
A jurisdiction of a sanctuary that was not represented during the hearing was Wednesday California, which in 2018 adopted “Trump -Prail” legislation that was aimed at protecting the illegal residents of the state against federal immigration authorities.
Supervisor Jim Desmond from San Diego County told Fox News Digital that the law, SB 54, has seriously limited what local jurisdictions in California can do to fight back against illegal immigration.
“They can’t help it,” Desmond said about the local legislative agencies of the state under SB 54, adding that even if officers see -illegal immigrants see in boats, it is forbidden to maintain the federal immigration laws.

“That is hindered California in terms of enforcement of law enforcement and immigration,” said Desmond.
Desmond noted that some jurisdictions in California have gone even further than SB 54, so that extra barriers have been brought to hinder the enforcement of immigration.
“My colleagues voted in December not to allow our law enforcement in our prisons to be able to inform ice directly that this person who has been convicted and tested and convicted is now illegal in our prisons,” Desmond said.
“They must now be ordered from a state or federal judge to transfer someone to ice,” he added and noticed that the rule is “just another obstacle that blocks law enforcement.”
“My democratic colleagues try to put more obstacles in the way to actually report criminals to ice,” said Desmond.
Nevertheless, Trump border tsar borders Tom Homan has sworn to fight back against Sanctuary Cities and said last month that the federal authorities continue to come “, regardless of which road blocks are put in the way.

“They are not going to stop us,” he said during an appearance on Fox News. “It is less efficient to arrest a bad guy in public where he hid for us, and we try to arrest him on his turf instead of arresting them in a prison of the province, where we have to arrest them. It is needed a cop to arrest the villain in the prison of the province.
That effort is stimulated by Trump’s Gop -Bondenmoten in the congresswho wanted to emphasize the dangers of the policy of the sanctuary on Wednesday.
