Mayor Johnson was asked​ by the House Oversight Committee to testify on Capitol Hill next month about Chicago's sanctuary city status — along with other big city mayors.

Mayor Brandon Johnson says the city will continue to protect civil and human rights, a day after the mayor received a letter from Washington, D.C., stating, in summary, that Chicago and other “sanctuary cities” like it are being investigated by the U.

Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday sought to tamp down concerns over the late-night order from President Donald Trump’s administration to freeze federal funding but could not provide details on how Chicago’s budget would be impacted.
