(The Center Square) – Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has agreed to testify before Congress over the city’s immigration policies, his office said Wednesday.

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee last month sent a letter to Democratic mayors of so-called sanctuary cities, including Johnston, requesting that they testify at a hearing scheduled for Feb. 11.
