WATCH LIVE: Democratic governors to testify on sanctuary city policies
Democratic governors JB Pritzker of Illinois, Tim Walz of Minnesota, and Kathy Hochul of New York are set to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government reform regarding their states’ sanctuary city policies. Sanctuary policies typically limit local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities, though there is no formal legal definition for them. These laws have faced challenges, particularly from the Trump governance, which has sued several states, asserting that such policies violate the Constitution. The discussion around sanctuary policies is notable in the context of immigration reform, with some New York house Democrats urging state leaders to pursue legislative action to bolster these protections.

There is no legal definition for sanctuary policies, but cities or states with these declarations generally limit the obligations of local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officers. These laws have previously been upheld in court.
The Trump administration, however, has sued Colorado, Illinois, New York, and several cities, claiming these policies violate the Constitution.
