Governor JB Pritzker is scheduled to testify before the Full Committee on Oversight and Government Reform regarding Illinois' sanctuary state policies. The hearing will address concerns about the impact of the TRUST Act on Illinois taxpayers and community safety. Critics argue that the act has led to significant financial costs for the state and has compromised public safety.

The debate centers around whether Illinois should continue its current approach as a "welcoming center" for undocumented immigrants or shift focus towards supporting vulnerable citizens within the state.
