The Mayor of Boston, WU, other mayors can be prosecuted due to sanctuary policy, the Republicans say the Republicans say

The mayor of the Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu could face up for the persecution of the city's sanctuary, after the prospect of federal suspicions of numerous Republican legislators, which she grilled during a negotiation hearing in the congress.

After WU and three other mayors of Sanctuary from Chicago, Denver and New York City had accused of “violating the law” through the limited cooperation with the immigration authorities of the federal cities, three republicans from the House of Representatives stated that they either be considered for charges or an investigation by the Ministry of Justice.

“I considered to refer indicators,” said the US Republic. Gary Palmer, a Republican from Alabama, at the hearing of the GOP-led house committee for surveillance and government reform on Wednesday. “I don't care who it is, I don't care which office you have, we have to adhere to the laws you have adopted.”

The prospect of potential charges was raised by US MP Anna Paulina Luna again after the Republican in Florida had raised the Boston Trust Act, a local law of 2014 that prohibits the city and other departments to work with the federal authorities with regard to civilian migration prisoners.

Luna said Boston's enforcement of the Trust Act, who said that the communication of the police with the federal immigration authorities was a violation of the federal law.

“This is not the truth,” shot Wu back to Luna's claim.

After Luna asked the mayors, she said that she would “refer criminal” to the US Ministry of Justice for investigations.

“I don't do that to harass you, but I believe that your guidelines violate the American people, and you can make this known to the evidence that you can present to the Ministry of Justice,” said Luna. “If you keep doing what you do, nobody will help her. You will hurt more people. “

Later the US REP. Marjorie Taylor-Green, a Republican of Georgia, so far to accuse the four mayors, to have committed “betrayal” with their sanctuary guidelines.

However, the US representative Nancy Mace told the mayors of their holy guidelines: “They all have blood in their hands when others spoke of crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

After the hearing, the chairman of the James Comer Committee, a Republican in Kentucky, informed reporters that the mayors would have “serious consequences”, including cuts in federal financing for their cities if they continued to hinder the deportation of “criminal illegal”.

Comer, however, said that he would accuse the prospect of criminal law and the law enforcement of the Ministry of Justice.

“We are investigating that we have public hearings and the Ministry of Justice would determine whether we are being pursued or not,” said Comer. “Federal financing is at risk if you continue to hinder.”

When WU was asked about Republican legislators who stated that they would pursue criminal charges, said: “Boston follows the laws.”

“As we heard in the many hours today, Boston follows the laws,” Wu told reporters, “and I am happy and will make sure that my team will continue to pursue this committee to get all other information you need.”

The US MP Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat from Massachusetts, who had previously been sitting in the Boston City Council in addition to WU, said that she would not “underestimate” the Trump government, although it was of the opinion that the indictment was unfounded.

“They continue to cross the limits of its crime to satisfy the flames of fear of demonizing our neighbors, our loved ones, our communities and the cities we love,” Pressley told reporters.

“I am only proud of our mayor and her strong defense of our city and tells the exact history of vitality and vibrance and also that this is the safest city in America,” added Pressley.

WU referred to the low murder rate of the city last year, the lowest in about 70 years, while defending the Hub's public security record in terms of bladder attacks by Republicans from Haus. The Democrats on the committee offered WU and their colleagues to counteract the rush.

Boston's mayor made her own shots throughout the hearing, especially when he dropped back to the vow of Border Czar Tom Homan to bring Helle to the center and to ask the congress to do their “jobs” and to remedy the broken immigration system of the federal government.

“Let's talk about Tom Homan,” said Wu. “Shame about him that he lied across my city that he has his nerve to insult our police commissioner, who supervised the safest Boston during his lifetime of anyone. Bring him to the congress and ask him some questions. “

However, WU stumbled a little when she was the only mayor who could not provide any financial estimates about what Boston has spent on illegal immigration in recent years, e.g.

While the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, the anger of the Republican legislators for limiting his estimate to the expenditure of around 1 percent of his city's budget, the mayors of Denver and New York, Mike Johnston and Eric Adams, were able to deliver concrete figures to 79 million US dollars in the past two years, and WU, for the application of Boston, the traces.

WU said that she could not provide a number because Boston does not ask about immigration status if it is asked to share the costs several times.

“You don't ask how much money the city of Boston spent on illegal immigration – are you out of your head?” The US Rep. Byron Donalds, a Republican in Florida, said. “Do you manage your budget?”

Wu replied that she actually managed her budget and that Boston evaluates a healthy AAA bond.

Amy Carnevale, Chairman of Massgop, later blew up “lack of transparency” in relation to tax money.

“Taxpayers deserve how much is distracted by their money from vital services of lifelong Bostoners to finance the guidelines of the city city that promote illegal immigration,” said Carnevale in a statement.

While the Republicans largely beat the three mayors of Boston, Chicago and Denver, the Democrats defended their immigration protection and agreed that they promote trust with the local police that makes their communities safer.

Several Democrats led their sharpness at Adams, the New York mayor of the allegations of corruption, while he was urging him to unveil the fact behind the urge of the Trump government.

The Ministry of Justice ordered the Federal Prosecutor's Office of Manhattan to publish its bribe against Adams in the past month, and in a memo said that the indictment of the mayor of participating in Trump's immigration authorities, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“Do you leave the New Yorkers to save themselves from law enforcement?” The US representative Robert Garcia, a California Democrat, asked.

Adams replied: “There is no deal, no object per quid, and I didn't do anything wrong.”
