House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and two subcommittee chairmen sent letters Tuesday to Austin, Texas, and Portland, Oregon, officials regarding their cities' sanctuary policies.

Jordan, Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement Chairman Tom McClintock and Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government Chairman Chip Roy sent a letter to Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza in Texas for information on his office's "soft on crime" sanctuary policies.

The men claimed Garza previously promised to "protect immigrant communities" by "creat[ing] a [district attorney's] office that considers the impact of charges and convictions" on foreign nationals and "ensures that the sentence imposed is not unduly harsh for any class of people."

"Under District Attorney José Garza, Austin has been failed by pro-criminal policies that weaken accountability and prioritize lawbreakers over public safety," Roy said on X. "This dereliction of duty has raised serious questions about whether repeat offenders, including criminal aliens, are being adequately prosecuted and whether the safety of law-abiding Austin residents is being put first."

The men also sent a letter to Oregon officials about the state's policies on cooperation with federal law enforcement. 

Oregon law prohibits state and local law enforcement from disclosing information on illegal migrants to federal immigration officials, limits immigration arrests at certain locations and forbids law enforcement from sharing criminal migrants' release dates.

The letters all request information on the respective sanctuary policies by July 7.
