'You prioritize illegals first': Elise Stefanik grills Kathy Hochul over New York's sanctuary state policies

Rep. Elise Stefanik slammed New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Thursday during a fiery House Oversight hearing on leftist sanctuary state policies, noting that Hochul prioritizes illegal immigrants over public safety. 

The faceoff occurred as Hochul, alongside Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and failed vice-presidential candidate and Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz, testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. 

Stefanik grilled Hochul over multiple cases of crime in New York committed by illegal immigrants, including Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, who burned 57-year-old Debrina Kawam to death on the F train in New York City.
