On March 4, 2025, Rep. Comer highlighted incidents involving individuals released under sanctuary city policies. He stated that “A Guatemalan national burned a woman alive on a subway & NYC rejected the ICE detainer,” adding that “Denver released a TDA gang member who then assaulted police” and “Boston released a Guatemalan who raped a child.” He expressed concern over these policies by saying they “endanger our communities.” “Original quotation”

Later on March 5, Rep. Comer expressed support for President Trump’s efforts to secure the border and announced that mayors from sanctuary cities like Chicago, Boston, Denver, and New York City would testify about their policies’ impact on American safety. He invited viewers to watch his appearance on Maria Bartiromo’s show at 7:20 am where he would discuss these issues further.“Original quotation”
