Rep. Anna Paulina Luna from Florida is making headlines with her bold move to refer several mayors of sanctuary cities to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. She accuses these city leaders of harboring illegal immigrants, which she argues is a direct violation of federal law. Luna made her announcement during a hearing with Democratic Mayors Michelle Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Mike Johnston of Denver, and Eric Adams of New York City.
In her opening remarks, Luna questioned Wu, Johnson, and Johnston about their cities’ sanctuary policies. Interestingly, she didn’t direct any questions toward Adams, who has agreed to work with former President Donald Trump and his team to tackle New York City’s immigration issues. Luna emphasized that these policies are not just problematic but are in direct conflict with U.S. Title 8 code, subsection 1324.
Luna is adamant that the sanctuary policies in these cities are aiding illegal immigration. She pointed out that these policies harm not only those who come here illegally but also American citizens. Despite her strong words, Luna clarified that she doesn’t believe the mayors are bad people but rather that they are “ideologically misled.”
She went on to say that after hearing the mayors’ responses, she felt compelled to refer them to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. Luna mentioned that she intended to pass these referrals to Pam Bondi, suggesting that she may not have included Adams in her scrutiny. There was some media confusion about whether all four mayors were referred, but Luna’s statements seemed to exclude Adams.
Luna made it clear that the referrals were not an attempt to bully the mayors. She believes their policies are detrimental to the American people and urged them to present evidence to the Department of Justice. Luna warned that continuing down this path would only cause more harm, expressing frustration on behalf of herself and the American people.
Committee Chairman James Comer used his time to question Adams about the financial burden on New York City due to the influx of illegal immigrants. Adams revealed that city taxpayers have spent about $6.9 billion in response to this crisis, highlighting the significant long-term impact.
After the hearing, Luna took to social media to reiterate her actions. She stated that she referred the mayors to the Department of Justice for criminal investigations based on their own policies and comments. Luna is firm in her stance that open border ideologies are harmful to everyone involved.
She also warned that holding federal office and breaking the law would lead to a DOJ investigation. Despite her strong words and actions, the Department of Justice and the mayors’ offices have not responded to requests for comment from Blaze News.
Luna’s actions have certainly stirred up conversation, especially among those who support strong border enforcement. Her stance reflects a broader concern among conservatives about the impact of sanctuary city policies on both local communities and the nation.
The issue of sanctuary cities has long been a contentious topic in American politics. Supporters argue that these policies protect immigrant communities, while critics, like Luna, believe they undermine federal law and public safety.
Luna’s move is part of a larger effort by Republicans to hold sanctuary cities accountable. Many conservatives feel that these policies invite chaos and lawlessness, a sentiment echoed by figures like Rush Limbaugh and Ronald Reagan.
The debate over sanctuary cities often centers around the balance between compassion for immigrants and the rule of law. Luna’s actions suggest she believes the scales have tipped too far in favor of leniency, to the detriment of American citizens.
Her decision to involve the Department of Justice signals a more aggressive approach to addressing these issues. It remains to be seen how this will play out, but it’s clear that Luna is committed to her cause.
This development highlights the ongoing divide between conservative and liberal approaches to immigration. While Democrats often focus on humanitarian concerns, Republicans like Luna emphasize the importance of legal compliance and national security.
Luna’s initiative may inspire similar actions from other Republicans who share her views. For those who believe in strong borders and strict immigration enforcement, her actions are likely to be seen as a step in the right direction.
The reaction from the public and other political figures will be telling. Some may view Luna as a champion of law and order, while others may see her as overly aggressive.
What is certain is that the issue of sanctuary cities and immigration policy will continue to be a hot-button issue. As Luna’s actions show, there are those who are willing to take bold steps to address what they see as federal law violations.
Lock these treasonous assholes up immediately to face charges of Sedition and Treason!

Now is the time for all Loyal and Genuine American Patriots to stand up shoulder to shoulder and be in the ready to defend our Country from all of its enemies both foreign and domestic!
In Jesus’ name I pray we must and will prevail!

Su, you’ve absolutely got that right.
Su, you are spot-on, and they are “the enemies within” who have “violated their sworn oath of office” “to protect, uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution and the Citizens!”
They have arrogantly failed completely in this regard making them “Traitors” who deserve trials at GITMO and appropriate sentencing to be carried out forthwith immediately upon their verdicts!
I repeat these comments I just made today on this site that applies to these Traitors!
Yes the SCOTUS got that nutcase that “can’t define what a woman is,” and the other loose goosey libtard socialist/commie huge A-Holes, it’s “a tight squeeze now” to get the “Right Decisions” to happen; so that is one area “I pray God will bring some of His Divine Intervention.” Say like when that evil demonic witch Ruth ‘Bad’er Ginsburg was kicked to the curb and eliminated by God Himself for all of her evil push to make sure innocent unborn human babies would be shredded in the wombs of their mothers, just like Satanic Biden declared they must be with his exclusive executive order appropriating 468 $Billion exclusively for abortion up to and including same day of delivery, that being even 19 times more than the previous abortion king Obama allotted; anyone want to tell me there won’t be hell to pay for these actions!
As I breath right now a living human being with my own life that God gave to me and all other human beings, there is ‘no way on God’s green earth and in all of existence that anyone could convince me otherwise’ that Biden and so many other cohorts “serve Satan directly” by enabling such evil against “innocent little babies” and that beyond any ‘ass-whooping’ that humans can do to one another, God will when appropriate take His “own action” like what He did with Ginsburg!
Diaz, it makes sense if those promoting it are “Enemies Within” and want to control and crush the “True American Citizens” who won’t put up with their “hidden criminal activities” and want to keep their Freedom! Easy to see they only “Promote Crime” not anything proper and good! They are the Devil’s own!
Matthew 7:16-17 “By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.”
That is it ted! Maybe they would prefer that New Mexico becomes part of Mexico so the Drug Cartels and other assorted major Crime Rings can run loose and control like they do in Mexico! This is all pure EVIL at work and it must be stopped!
Sure these I say it plain “Assholes” would push for this against “Law Abiding responsible American Citizens who need to protect themselves and their families in these insane times of such debauchery, but they surely allow evil Satan worshiping Organized Crime International Ruthless Murdering Gangs, Terrorists, Human Trafficking and Major Drug Cartels to attack, poison and kill Citizens and even Little Children!!!
Time has come that “The Nations Judicial System and Law Enforcement and Military” if needed, restore “Rule of Law” and go after every one of these devils promoting this madness and lock them up for life!
Treason plain as day!
