In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Rep. Brandon Gill, a Republican representing Texas, expressed a controversial view that state governors who violate federal immigration laws should face arrest. His comments were made during a significant House Oversight Committee hearing that addressed the practices of Democratic governors from New York, Illinois, and Minnesota regarding sanctuary state laws.
Gill’s remarks were particularly pointed as they overlapped with ongoing tensions in cities like Los Angeles, where confrontations between protestors and law enforcement have escalated. He condemned a perceived lack of compliance with federal immigration law, directly implicating California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has rejected such accusations from Trump and his followers.
Furthermore, Gill criticized Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, asserting that the state has been lax and even supportive of illegal immigration. His allegations included a critique of Pritzker's funding of a group that apparently opposes deportation efforts, which Gill claims contradicts the governor's professed support for federal immigration enforcement. Pritzker defended his position, clarifying that he does not endorse the abolishment of immigration enforcement agencies, despite his state's advocacy for humane treatment of asylum seekers.

Gill is trying to silence those who disagree with the radical right. is at risk.

Hopefully, this sparks a serious discussion about sanctuary states and the rule of law.

It's a shame there aren't more lawmakers with the guts to say what needs to be said.

We need this kind of action at all levels of government.

It's about time someone stood up to these rogue governors and defended federal law.
