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.
