The House Judiciary Committee is investigating why Colorado lawyers who want to file a case online must abide by the state’s sanctuary law or face perjury charges.

In a letter on Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, said they are looking at Colorado’s sanctuary policy.

Last year, Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed the Protect Civil Rights Immigration Status Act into law, which attempts to shield illegal immigrants by extending existing prohibitions on information sharing to state officials and any third party with access through the Colorado Judicial Department.

Lawyers who use information from the court filing system to assist with immigration enforcement could be charged with perjury. They must certify online that they will not share personal information from the database with federal immigration officials.

“This certification commandeers private attorneys into Colorado’s radical sanctuary policies, handcuffs federal officials from enforcing immigration law in Colorado, and violates fundamental free speech principles,” the members’ letter says.

The Colorado courts’ electronic filing policy website implemented this certification on March 30, according to the letter, which gave a deadline of April 27 for the state to respond.

“In practice, this means that any attorney logging into Colorado’s state electronic court filing system must certify, ‘under penalty of perjury,’ that the attorney ‘will not use [or disclose] personal identifying information obtained from the database or automated network for the purpose of investigating for, participating in, cooperating with, or assisting in federal immigration enforcement, including enforcement of civil immigration laws’ under federal statute,” the congressmen’s letter says.

Jordan and McClintock wrote to Steven Vasconcellos, the Colorado state court administrator, seeking information including the number of private attorneys punished under enforcement of the law.

The House Judiciary Committee is conducting oversight of state and local jurisdictions nationwide that are not cooperating with federal immigration officials.

The letter references Colorado lawyer Ian Speir, who posted on X: “I cannot log into the state’s official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance. I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc.”

He added that if he declines the certification, “it kicks me out of the system. I must click ‘Accept’ to access the system and continue representing my civil clients — again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy.”

Specifically, the two House chairmen asked the court administrator to provide clarification on the penalties for third parties who violate the certification requirement.

They also asked for the number of complaints received by the Colorado Judicial Branch since May 2025, when Polis signed the bill into law. The letter further requested documents and communications among Colorado judicial branch staff, referring or relating to the implementation of the certification.

After independent journalist Nick Shirley sparked a national news cycle in January over alleged state-administered fraud, California lawmakers have moved to restrict the activities of independent journalists who question government spending, according to state officials.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Signal, California state Assemblyman David Tangipa said the California Legislature is advancing what he described as “unconstitutional legislation” that would limit the release of video recordings by independent journalists who investigate taxpayer-funded programs.

Assembly Bill 2646 was introduced in February by California state Assemblywoman Mia Bonta following the viral success of a Nick Shirley video questioning potential healthcare and daycare fraud. That video amassed more than 149 million views on X.

“Ask yourself this—why are Democrats trying to protect people who are being questioned about state administrators and NGOs over their funding and what that funding actually achieves?” Tangipa told The Daily Signal. “Why is the government alleging that those who question how funds are being used are harassing people?”

In the video, Shirley is seen directly questioning daycare and healthcare administrators, some of whom accused him of racism and harassment while attempting to stop him from recording.

“When a government diminishes transparency, it has something to hide,” Tangipa added. “The government is trying to punish people for holding it accountable while adding protections for corrupt NGOs.”

In March, Shirley traveled to California, where he alleged that at least $170 million in hospice and daycare fraud was taking place.

“People are asking questions for a reason,” Tangipa said. “This type of bill would protect people preying on the dead and the sick.”

Other Republicans in the Assembly have denounced the bill as an attack on transparency and the First Amendment.

“California Democrats are trying to intimidate citizen watchdog journalists and protect waste and fraud happening in far-left NGOs,” Assemblyman Carl DeMaio wrote in a press release. “AB 2624 can only be described as the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’—a bill designed to silence citizen journalists exposing fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars.”

“If this bill becomes law, the message is clear to every journalist in California: Expose corruption and you will be punished,” DeMaio continued. “AB 2624 is an unconstitutional, direct attack on transparency and the First Amendment, and it needs to be defeated.”

Shirley also responded to the legislation on X, calling it an effort by politicians to “protect fraudsters and illegal migrants,” and urging the public to resist what he described as government oppression.

“The enemy truly is within,” Shirley wrote.

VATICAN CITY — President Donald Trump escalated his feud with Pope Leo this morning, nailing a copy of The Art of the Deal to the door of the Vatican.

Houston could lose critical police, fire, and homeland security funding after state officials ruled that the city’s newly adopted immigration ordinance violates its public safety grant requirements, Mayor John Whitmire said Monday. The city stands to lose approximately $110 million in state grant funding if it does not reverse the newly enacted policy.

At a White House meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson, the National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, will hatch plans for Republicans to keep their House majority in the 2026 midterms after a record-breaking fundraising haul.

“Following a record-breaking fundraising quarter to begin 2026, I look forward to meeting with President Trump and the NRCC as we continue working hand-in-hand to defend and grow our House Republican majority with winning candidates across the country and a strong record of secure borders, lower costs, and a return to common sense,” Johnson told The Daily Signal.

Trump, Johnson, and Hudson will discuss Republicans’ midterm strategy at the White House on the heels of an impressive quarter of fundraising by Johnson, someone familiar with the upcoming meeting told The Daily Signal.

The trio will also discuss candidate recruitment, the source added.

The Speaker raised over $34 million in the first quarter, breaking Republican leadership fundraising records as the party prepares for the midterm cycle.

The Republican war chest is expected to help the party go on the offensive despite the historical disadvantage majority parties often have going into midterm elections.

The speaker has given nearly $30 million to the NRCC and a record-setting $18 million directly to incumbents in the House. Overall this cycle, he has given over $64 million toward the midterms to “defend and grow the House GOP majority.”

In a press release detailing the fundraising records, Johnson says Republicans “remain on offense” heading into the midterms. He predicts that, come November, Americans will see “a clear contrast: between House Republicans’ return to common sense and real results—and Democrats’ radical, far-left agenda to reopen our borders and make life more expensive and more dangerous.”

The party was at first skeptical of Johnsons fundraising abilities when he launched into the spotlight as speaker in 2023. His predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, had raised over 100 times more than he had that year, the New York Times had reported. But Johnson quickly began raking in cash and breaking records.

Johnson’s campaign says that in this cycle alone he has raised over $116 million in “hard dollars” for House Republicans. This does not include money raised by his endorsed super PAC, the Campaign Leadership Fund.
