Republican lawmakers seek to strip District of Columbia of its sanctuary city policies

Denver Mayor Johnston spent over $80 million of local funds to support about 43,000 Venezuelan migrants arriving in the city after crossing the U.S. Border.
This spending followed the migrants' release by the Department of Homeland Security pending immigration cases, but Denver faces uncertain federal reimbursement under new FEMA coverage standards.
