During a heated House Oversight Committee hearing, conservative champion Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) delivered a powerful grilling to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, demanding accountability for his city’s sanctuary policies that favor illegal aliens over American citizens.
Alongside Johnson, Sanctuary City mayors Eric Adams of New York City, Mike Johnston of Denver, and Michelle Wu of Boston, found themselves under the microscope. The hearing focused on their blatant disregard for federal immigration laws by sheltering illegal aliens.
Rep. Virginia Foxx put the heat on these mayors, compelling them to disclose the staggering amounts spent on illegal aliens in recent years.
- Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson avoided specifics, saying only that it’s 1% of the city’s budget over four years.
- Denver Mayor Mike Johnston revealed a jaw-dropping $79 million spent in just two years.
- New York Mayor Eric Adams confessed to a staggering $6.9 billion.
- Boston Mayor Wu claimed ignorance, stating they don’t inquire about immigration status.
In a striking move, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL) announced she is criminally referring all four mayors to the Department of Justice. Her accusation?

Rep. Gill fiercely challenged Johnson, exposing how his policies favor illegal aliens while Americans face hardship. The mayor was questioned about the following:
- Driver’s licenses for illegals
- Government-subsidized healthcare for illegals
- Free or reduced college tuition for illegals
- Voting rights for non-citizens
- Taxpayer-funded abortions for illegals
When asked if he supports allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses, Johnson dodged the yes or no question, instead citing Chicago’s long-standing welcoming policy.
Rep. Gill didn’t relent, pressing on with questions about taxpayer-funded healthcare and education for illegals. Johnson continued with his evasive answers, prompting Gill to conclude each response as a “yes.”
A particularly striking moment came when Gill cited Johnson’s own campaign site advocating for non-citizens to vote in local elections, including the Chicago Board of Education.
As conservatives across the nation grow increasingly frustrated with sanctuary city policies, this hearing brought attention to the urgent need for accountability and adherence to federal laws. Rep. Brandon Gill and his fellow patriots are leading the charge to ensure that American cities prioritize citizens and respect the rule of law.
