Summary
A House Judiciary Committee hearing on sanctuary city policies turned into a shouting match between Reps. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.). Lawler accused Raskin of not caring about the deaths of Americans allegedly killed by illegal immigrants, while Raskin accused Lawler of not feeling outrage over the deaths of anti-ICE protesters killed by federal agents. The two lawmakers exchanged heated words, with Lawler calling Raskin a “disgrace” and Raskin telling Lawler to “get the hell out of here.” The hearing was held to discuss sanctuary policies, which shield illegal aliens from federal immigration authorities.
