GOP Rep Criticizes ICE Detention of 5-Year-Old: That Should Not Happen'
"As a Republican who is running for his seat again, how do you promise [voters], Listen, we're gonna get this done, but we're not gonna be terrible about it, we're not gonna be cruel, we're not gonna be mean about it. I'm not okay with what you're seeing on TV either.' Right, responded Lawler. So, a lot of things can be true at once, right? Number one, what happened with Renee Good was tragic. We don't want to see anyone lose their life."
"Tur then interrupted, saying, There's the five-year-old boy, there's the guy in his underwear, there's Renee Nicole Good, shot three times. Here, she is referring to ChongLy Scott Thao, a U.S. citizen and grandfather who was detained by ICE agents wearing only his underwear in freezing Minnesota conditions on Sunday. ICE reportedly entered his home without a warrant, later claiming they were searching for a sex offender who, it turned out, was already in jail."
Representative Mike Lawler criticized ICE for detaining five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father in their Minneapolis driveway as the child returned from preschool, calling it unacceptable and urging the Department of Homeland Security and immigration officials to prevent similar incidents. Katy Tur raised related cases including ChongLy Scott Thao, a U.S. citizen detained in his underwear without a warrant in freezing Minnesota conditions, while ICE said it sought a sex offender later found already jailed. Lawler said tragedies must be avoided but warned against interfering with law enforcement, criticizing protesters who block agents with vehicles.
