To prove the point, a week after Trump's inauguration, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent letters to four of those mayors: Boston's Michelle Wu, Chicago's Brandon Johnson, New York City's Eric Adams, and Denver's Mike Johnston. In the letter, he requested they appear before the committee to testify about their policies.

The goal of the hearing, Comer noted, was to assess if new legislation would be needed "to enhance border security and public safety."

Johnson came into the hearing hot on the heels of finding out that he has what may be the lowest approval rating ever for a mayor of the Windy City (or anywhere else, for that matter), with only 6.6 percent of voters supporting him.

So what does Johnson do upon beginning his testimony before the committee? He proceeds to make it worse for himself, and in the process, confirming exactly why he is likely to be Chicago's next one-term mayor right behind Lori Lightfoot AKA Beetlejuice.

Regardless of what comes of this hearing, Johnson has an even bigger fight on his hands in the form of Bondi, who in early February announced a lawsuit against Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois related to their sanctuary laws, with the lawsuit stating in part that:

"The challenged provisions of Illinois, Chicago, and Cook County law reflect their intentional effort to obstruct the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and to impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe."

And to make things worse, we have J.B. Pritzker.
