WASHINGTON—A mass protest by D.C. residents jammed the City Council’s chambers on June 2 over Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser’s plan to end the “sanctuary city” status of the Nation’s Capital. Bowser’s plan is in her proposed city budget for the next fiscal year. It “shamefully includes a repeal of the Sanctuary Cities Act,” which protects migrants to D.C., a fact sheet says.
