Boebert, Evans, and Crank grill Denver Mayor Mike Johnston during congressional hearing on 'sanctuary cities'

The article from Denver7 discusses a contentious exchange during a Congressional hearing where Representative Lauren Boebert grilled Denver Mayor Mike Johnston about the city's policies on immigration. The hearing focused on sanctuary city policies, with Boebert questioning Johnston about the financial implications and the specifics of Denver's support for migrants. Johnston defended the city's approach, explaining that Denver has been managing an influx of migrants by providing temporary shelter and support, while also seeking federal assistance to manage the costs, which he noted were significant. He emphasized that the city's actions were humanitarian in nature, aimed at helping people in need, and not about creating a sanctuary city per se. The dialogue highlighted the tension between local and federal responsibilities regarding immigration and the ongoing debate over sanctuary city policies.
