House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is intensifying his efforts against sanctuary jurisdictions by sending subpoenas to district attorneys in Boulder, Colorado, and Fairfax, Virginia, according to reports from Fox News. Jordan alleges that these officials are giving 'preferential treatment' to 'criminal aliens' when deciding whether to prosecute them.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Jordan stated that he would not rule out further action if the district attorneys did not comply with the committee's requests for information. This move comes as part of a broader crackdown on sanctuary jurisdictions across the country.

Earlier, Rep. Jim Comer, a Republican, had previously stated that Black, a district attorney, refused to comply with subpoenas for a deposition and to turn over nondisclosure agreements related to Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, as reported by USA Today.

Comer emphasized, 'Subpoenas are not suggestions,' indicating the seriousness of the committee's demands and the potential consequences for non-compliance.
