Sanctuary city mayors from New York, Denver, Chicago, and Boston went to Capitol Hill this week and testified before Congress about their policies regarding illegal migrants. The mayors were defiant, often clashing with Republican lawmakers over their “sanctuary” status. Former Migrant Shelter Director Jon Fetherston ran a facility near Boston and saw firsthand the result of that city’s ‘sanctuary’ laws. Fetherston joined the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal to share what he experienced while working in migrant housing, what benefits illegal immigrants are entitled to if they come to the United States, and why he believes Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is unfit for her position. He also described some horrifying stories about children being neglected and even sexually abused. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Jon Fetherston, allowing you to hear more about the conditions of the migrant shelters he operated and why he feels ‘sanctuary city’ policies put both migrants and American communities in danger.
