(The Center Square) – The mayor of Chicago testified during a congressional hearing Wednesday that his city is safer because of its Welcoming City ordinance. “Any actions that amplify fears of deportations make Chicago more dangerous. Those fears cause witnesses and victims to avoid cooperating with police,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said. Johnson joined mayors from Boston, Denver and New York City before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Kentucky, said sanctuary policies risk the safety of federal agents and the public. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

(The Center Square) – The Illinois House Gun Violence Prevention Committee continues to hear proposals involving further gun control measures. One would create a task force to investigate insurance mandates for gun owners. The other would increase fees for transferring firearms. State Rep. Bob Morgan, D-Deerfield, has House Bill 33 to increase the fee from $2 to $10 for when someone transfers a firearm to someone else. He said the extra funds would be used to go after those with expired or revoked Firearm Owner’s ID cards. “The question is whether we’re getting those resources to law enforcement to do the job that we’re charging them to do, that’s what this legislation is about,” Morgan told the committee.
