legislation he plans to mark up Thursday that would crack down on sanctuary cities — jurisdictions that refuse to honor federal immigration detainers
I will work to crack down on sanctuary cities that refuse to honor federal immigration detainers.
Occurrences
Evidence
At a House hearing on sanctuary-city policies, Rep. Jim Jordan pressed Denver Mayor Mike Johnston about an ICE arrest and said officials may need to make adjustments to how releases are handled.
The House Judiciary Committee led by Jim Jordan sent letters to New York City officials over sanctuary laws and said NYCDOC honored less than 4% of ICE detainers from July 2022 through June 2025.
Assessments
Jim Jordan used his House Judiciary leadership to press sanctuary-city officials, hold hearings, and send investigative letters about ICE detainers, which shows concrete effort toward the promise. But the evidence does not show a completed federal crackdown or a binding policy change that forced sanctuary cities to honor detainers, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
