Republicans on and off the U.S. House Oversight Committee took aim at Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday, pressing him on whether Minnesota complies with federal immigration laws while admonishing him for recently saying Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were a “modern-day gestapo.

The House Oversight Committee has long been a partisan battleground, and in recent months it has turned its focus to immigration policy. Thursday’s hearing follows a similar one in March in which the Republican-led committee questioned the Democratic mayors of Chicago, Boston, Denver and New York about sanctuary policies.
