What are the immediate consequences of the House Republican investigation into sanctuary cities for the four targeted mayors and their cities?

House Republicans launched an investigation into sanctuary cities, questioning their compliance with federal immigration laws and requesting testimony from four mayors (Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City) on February 11th. The investigation focuses on whether sanctuary policies endanger public safety by hindering cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. This action follows President Trump's renewed focus on deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
