How FEMA Funds Got Directed to Illegal Immigrants

During a recent House Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting, mayors from major sanctuary cities faced intense debate with Republican lawmakers over immigration policies. The discussion highlighted the stark divisions between the two parties regarding cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

1. Participants:

• The hearing featured New York Mayor Eric Adams, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, all Democrats. David Bier from the Cato Institute also provided testimony.

2. Republican Viewpoint:

• Republicans, led by Rep. James Comer, accused the mayors of breaking federal laws by not assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deporting illegal immigrants from their areas.

• A notable exchange occurred between Rep. Jim Jordan and Mayor Johnston regarding an alleged gang member, Abraham Gonzalez, whose release was criticized for being improperly handled.

3. Democratic Defense:

• Democrats argued that illegal immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U. S. citizens and praised the mayors’ policies for enhancing city safety. They cited studies showing lower crime rates as immigrant populations increase.

4. Contention Over Cooperation:

• The debate included a disagreement over appropriate cooperation levels between local and federal authorities. Republicans claimed the mayors were resistant to ICE requests for detaining illegal immigrants, while Democrats provided research supporting the idea that immigrant communities lower overall crime rates.

5. Responses to Detention Questions:

• When asked whether individuals crossing the border illegally should be detained, Mayor Adams agreed, while others were less definitive. Mayors expressed support for asylum seekers and emphasized the need for an effective immigration system.

6. Legal Implications:

• Rep. Andy Biggs highlighted that certain federal laws make it illegal for local officials to withhold information or aid ICE, arguing that the mayors could face legal repercussions for their sanctuary city policies.

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing underscored the deep divide between Democrats and Republicans on immigration enforcement and the status of sanctuary cities. While mayors defended their policies as beneficial to community safety, Republicans condemned them for perceived noncompliance with federal immigration laws. The hearing revealed ongoing tensions and differing beliefs about the relationship between local and federal governments in immigration matters.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
