"ICE Barbie was backed into another perjury corner after Rep. Dan Goldman (D-New York) her to confirm that immigrants with ongoing asylum cases are here legally. (As she affirmed, they are.) "If your department deports anyone with an ongoing asylum application, you are violating the law," Goldman then said.
