Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert got in a heated exchange with Denver Mayor Mike Johnston at a hearing where GOP lawmakers are grilling Democratic mayors of large cities over sanctuary city policies. Concretely, the argument revolved around what she described as a city ordinance preventing city employees from talking to law enforcement officials unless they present a warrant.
After asking if employees would be fired for talking with "anyone from the EPA" or "Health and Human Services," she asserted that they would "only be fired for talking to federal law enforcement officers."
