Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, said she was making criminal referrals to the Justice Department to investigate the mayors after she questioned them over their views on immigration enforcement.
Luna said after her line of questioning that it's "very clear" that the Democratic mayors' policies are in violation of federal law, an assertion that the mayors have denied all day.
"You all speak about a broken immigration system, and yet here you guys are aiding and abetting in that entire process," Luna said, adding that open border policies harm people "on both sides."
"I do not think you guys are bad people but I think you are ideologically misled," Luna said, which is why she said she will be criminally referring the mayors to the Justice Department for investigation.
Luna added that she wasn't making the move to "bully you guys," but she said she believes their policies are hurting the American people.
"If you guys continue doing what you're doing, you're not going to help anyone," Luna added.
A criminal referral does not require the Justice Department to open an investigation, but serves as a formal notice that a lawmaker or committee believes criminal conduct may have occurred.
