Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, along with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and New York Governor Kathy Hochul, have agreed to testify before the U.S. House Oversight Committee on June 12. The Democratic Governors will discuss their states' sanctuary policies, which are designed to protect undocumented immigrants. The invitation to testify was issued by Republican Rep. James Comer, the Republican chairperson of the committee, who has criticized these policies for allegedly shielding criminal illegal aliens and obstructing federal immigration enforcement. The governors' appearance is part of a broader Republican effort to challenge sanctuary state policies.

Democrats want sanctuaries for illegals. I want sanctuaries for Americans. I signed the Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act to strengthen Arkansas’ sanctuary city ban - because our focus is protecting Arkansans, not shielding violent criminals. https://t.co/GLMDE6jxt9

@RepNancyMace

Sanctuary Governors are being dragged to Congress to explain why they protect criminal illegal aliens instead of law-abiding Americans. Your sanctuary policies are over. Your excuses won’t save you. See you June 12th. https://t.co/p9nHK29Lw1
