Chicago's sanctuary policies under scrutiny by Congress The U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has launched an investigation into sanctuary jurisdictions and the impact of their policies on public safety and federal immigration enforcement.

The article from MSN discusses the scrutiny faced by Chicago's sanctuary city policies by the U.S. Congress. Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, have initiated an investigation into how these policies might be contributing to increased crime rates and the strain on public resources. The focus is on understanding the implications of sanctuary policies, which limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. Critics argue that these policies hinder the deportation of undocumented immigrants who commit crimes, thereby posing a risk to public safety. The article also mentions that this investigation comes at a time when Chicago, like other sanctuary cities, is dealing with an influx of migrants, which has intensified debates over immigration policies and local governance.
