Governors Set to Testify on Capitol Hill About Immigration Policies
- Democratic governors from Illinois, Minnesota, and New York—J.B. Pritzker, Tim Walz, and Kathy Hochul—are scheduled to testify on Thursday before the House Oversight Committee regarding their states' approaches to immigration policy.
- The hearing follows months of political pressure and an investigation launched by Oversight Chair James Comer into sanctuary policies that Republicans say shield criminal illegal aliens.
- Governors are anticipated to defend their decisions to restrict collaboration with federal immigration authorities in response to the significant increase in migrants, highlighted by New York City's arrival of over 220,000 individuals since early 2022.
- Comer criticized the governors for allegedly prioritizing the rights of undocumented individuals with criminal records over the security of American residents, while Pritzker emphasized that Illinois upholds federal laws and remains committed to maintaining public safety.
- The hearing may intensify debates about sanctuary policies and push the governors to call for comprehensive federal immigration reform amid ongoing challenges at the border and states.
