Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Wednesday told four sanctuary city mayors that she will be referring them to the Department of Justice for “aiding and abetting” illegal immigrants in violation of federal law.
The Democrat mayors – Eric Adams of New York City, Michelle Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, and Mike Johnston of Denver – were testifying before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee earlier.
All good choices! Johnson of Denver just let a violent Tren de Aragua criminal go free, letting him out in the parking lot, rather than turn him over to law enforcement.
She cited a federal statute, Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324, often referred to by Border Czar Tom Homan in justifying the threat of criminal charges for sanctuary city officials.
“To me, after this line of questioning, it’s very clear that these policies that you have all implicated are active and alive and well in your cities, are in direct violation with Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324 and is a federal offense,” the congresswoman said.
So far, we haven’t seen much action from Pam Bondi.
I just referred the sanctuary city mayors to the Department of Justice for CRIMINAL investigations based on evidence from their own comments and policies, proving that they were breaking federal law.

Luna is a competent and serious person, Bondi is no match for her. Bondi needs to be handed issues in large numbers to expose her inability to handle things. The 2 already have a rivalry, because Bondi did not honor the commitment to keep Luna’s committee informed. It’s the first significant assignment Luna has been given. It was an agreement between Johnson and Trump that Luna would be kept informed. Instead, Bondi ignored Luna. Bondi put out that obviously flawed “release 1”, and when it was quickly and easily discovered as a fraud, Bondi suddenly came up with the “FBI is withholding information” excuse. And she tried to blame Kash. The first day Kash was involved, the files were obtained.
The timeline of actions and words by Bondi shows clear deception and inability. Bondi is competitive, does not like Luna’s involvement, kept Kash out of the situation until things got out of control and she needed someone to blame. Anyone that has worked in a large company has seen these behaviors.
Noem has to be getting upset, since Bondi has not acted on the ICE leakers.
I lost faith in Bondi before she became AG. She seems to have the time to make a lot of TV appearances. I hope there’s someone more capable waiting in the wings.
Hang em high!
