Sanctuary governors to testify before Congress as LA protests, riots continue
- Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker will testify on June 12 before the U.S. House Oversight Committee about the state's sanctuary policies amid ongoing immigration protests.
- This hearing follows a lawsuit by the Department of Justice accusing Illinois of obstructing federal immigration enforcement and recent violent protests in Los Angeles related to immigration arrests.
- Illinois enforces the 2017 TRUST Act and subsequent amendments that limit local cooperation with ICE, joining Minnesota and New York in protecting migrants against federal enforcement actions.
- House Oversight Chair James Comer said, "reckless sanctuary states like Illinois" obstruct enforcement while Pritzker said Congress wants to "learn more about what we are doing in the state."
- The hearing and protests highlight rising tensions over immigration policy enforcement and could affect Pritzker’s political standing amid broader national immigration debates.
