Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced harsh criticism Thursday from Rep. Tom Emmer during a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee hearing focused on sanctuary state policies. Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota, accused Walz of prioritizing illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens, and failing to support ICE and national sovereignty.
The Trump administration has launched a new initiative to confront sanctuary policies in Democratic-led states, establishing a task force aimed at enforcing federal immigration laws more aggressively.
