Democratic Governors Defend Sanctuary Policies at House Hearing | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Three high-profile Democratic governors—New York's Kathy Hochul, Minnesota's Tim Walz, and Illinois' J.B. Pritzker—testified at a House hearing on sanctuary states and cities. The hearing, scheduled weeks in advance, coincides with ongoing unrest in California over President Trump’s immigration actions. Republicans accused the governors of prioritizing illegal migrants over public safety, citing violent crimes committed by undocumented individuals. The governors defended their state’s actions, claiming many of the people here illegally are simply looking for a better life. Democrats used the hearing to highlight what they described as a cruel and deliberate war against migrants, especially children, by the Trump administration.
