Democratic governors face contentious hearing on sanctuary states

A trio of high-profile Democratic governors is set to take center stage on Capitol Hill in what is likely to be a contentious hearing on sanctuary states Thursday.

Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are expected to grill Govs. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Kathy Hochul of New York and JB Pritzker of Illinois over their states’ status as sanctuaries for migrants.

The hearing, scheduled more than a month ago, comes amid unrest in California over President Trump’s immigration policies.
