House Democrats are formally launching an investigation into the Trump administration's consideration of a controversial proposal to send undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities.
However, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that he didn't see a legitimate way for the administration to implement a possible proposal to release undocumented immigrants into “sanctuary cities."
"These reports are alarming. Not only does the Administration lack the legal authority to transfer detainees in this manner, it is shocking that the President and senior Administration officials are even considering manipulating release decisions for purely political reasons," Reps. Jerry Nadler, Elijah Cummings, and Thompson wrote in a letter.
In an interview on CNN Sunday, Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, disputed Trump's"absolute right" to carry out the policy.
