Comer told Fox News Digital that it “is at risk for ice agents forced to take more difficult enforcement actions in jurisdictions that refuse to work with federal authorities.”
“Policies in Boston, Chicago, Denver and New York City prioritize illegal foreigners who are criminally employed over Americans,” Comer added. “This is unacceptable and their leaders must take responsibility.”
Comer vowed to “respond to these mayors and consider measures to enforce compliance with federal immigration laws.”
Since Trump took office in January, Ice has arrested illegal criminal immigrants in sanctuary cities across the country.
