The Democrat All-Stars were questioned by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.
The Democrats on the committee defended sanctuary city policies. The only mayor they asked hard questions of was Eric Adams, who they kept accusing of having made a quid pro quo deal with Trump. They repeatedly demanded he resign.
But for the leftwing mayors gleefully aiding and abetting wanted murderers? No questions!
CBS Fake News was sure to mostly report on the attacks on Adams.
Rep. Virginia Foxx, a North Carolina Republican, asked the mayors how much their cities have spent to care for migrants over the past four years.
Adams said New York has spent about $6.9 billion to house and care for immigrants and asylum seekers, by far the highest number among the four mayors.
Chicago's mayor said the city has spent roughly 1% of its budget since 2022, or hundreds of millions of dollars. Chicago's 2025 budget was $18.7 billion.
Denver's mayor said the city spent $79 million over the last two and a half years. Boston's mayor said she did not have a number because the city doesn't ask about immigration status when providing city services.
No more federal funding for illegals, sanctuary mayors. You'll have to get your money from the state or your own citizens. Good luck.
Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, berated the mayors with a series of questions, questioning their fitness for the roles and arguing that they are harming the people that they serve.
"All of the mayors here today are actively working to harm the American people you represent," Mace said. "You all have blood on your hands."
Mace asked the mayors whether "breaking into our country" is against law and whether it's against the law for illegal immigrants convicted of crimes to be released back into the public, among other questions that she framed as yes or no questions.
"You guys don't sound very confident today," Mace said, as she interrupted the mayors when they sought to clarify their answers. And she interjected when Adams was responding to one question, saying "you're having the hardest time today."
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, said she was making criminal referrals to the Justice Department to investigate the mayors after she questioned them over their views on immigration enforcement.
Luna said after her line of questioning that it's "very clear" that the Democratic mayors' policies are in violation of federal law, an assertion that the mayors have denied all day.
"You all speak about a broken immigration system, and yet here you guys are aiding and abetting in that entire process," Luna said, adding that open border policies harm people "on both sides."
"I do not think you guys are bad people but I think you are ideologically misled," Luna said, which is why she said she will be criminally referring the mayors to the Justice Department for investigation.
Luna added that she wasn't making the move to "bully you guys," but she said she believes their policies are hurting the American people.
"If you guys continue doing what you're doing, you're not going to help anyone," Luna added.
A criminal referral does not require the Justice Department to open an investigation, but serves as a formal notice that a lawmaker or committee believes criminal conduct may have occurred.
Before now, I would have assumed that this is all just posturing and that no criminal investigations would happen.
But Trump clearly has zero remaining f***s and is going scorched earth on the treasonous insurrectionists. So who knows!
Here's more on Denver's choice to "release to the street" wanted Tren de Aragua gang members rather than allow ICE to pick them up from the jail.
The mayor of Denver claimed his city isn't really a sanctuary city -- but was confronted with the fact that he has announced that any city worker caught speaking with federal law enforcement agents will be fired.
These mayors continue aiding and abetting wanted fugitives who murder and rape American citizens:
