​Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was called to testify before the U.S. House Oversight Committee due to Boston's designation as a "sanctuary city," a status that limits local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, is investigating how such policies impact public safety and the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Mayor Wu, along with the mayors of New York City, Chicago, and Denver, was invited to provide insights into their cities' approaches to these issues. 

Sanctuary cities are municipalities that limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agencies, often to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation. These policies vary but typically include refusing to detain individuals solely based on immigration status or declining to share certain information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

Supporters argue that sanctuary policies foster trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement, encouraging cooperation in reporting crimes. 

Critics, however, claim these policies undermine federal law and may compromise public safety. Sanctuary city policies have been a contentious issue in national politics, often sparking debates over state versus federal authority in immigration enforcement.
