Johnson, along with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and New York Mayor Eric Adams be questioned by the Republican-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform over their policies surrounding immigration and their respective city's sanctuary status,
Mayors Michelle Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Mike Johnston of Denver and Eric Adams of New York are set to appear Wednesday in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government
If Committee Chairman James Comer expected Wu to be the weak link among the four mayors, he had to be disappointed. She turned out to be the most articulate.
Wu was one of four Democratic mayors called before the committee. The three others — Eric Adams of New York City, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, and Mike Johnston of Denver — chose not to give the yes or no answer requested by Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina when she asked, “Is breaking into our country against the law?”
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu racked up a six-figure bill with a high-powered law firm in preparation for Wednesday’s intense congressional hearing on sanctuary cities in Washington, D.C.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu appeared before a congressional committee alongside mayors from New York, Chicago and Denver on Wednesday.
Wu emerged from the marathon hearing largely unscathed, and managed to land a few hits in the face of aggressive questioning.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu firmly defended the city’s immigration and law enforcement policies at a six-hour-long congressional hearing in Washington March 5, where she faced questions from Republican lawmakers on Boston’s immigrant population and cooperation with federal immigration officers.
Mayor Michelle Wu came to a Wednesday congressional hearing with her infant daughter, Mira; Ash Wednesday ashes on her forehead; and some killer attack lines about President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan. Together, they were weapons in the nation’s ongoing fight over immigration and the policies of so-called sanctuary cities like Boston.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is already in Washington, D.C., preparing to testify before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that is investigating “sanctuary" jurisdictions.
