"Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) straight up asked acting ICE Director Todd Lyons if he believes he's going to hell during a House hearing on Tuesday. During an immigration-focused hearing, McIver voted that people are dying and argued officials like Lyons don't seem to care. She then confirmed whether he was religious before accusing him of having blood on his hands. Her questions come as cities have been hit with anti-ICE protests, including in Minneapolis, where federal immigration agents shot and killed two citizens last month."
"How do you think Judgment Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? McIver asked Lyons. I'm not going to entertain that question, Lyons said. McIver who was charged with assaulting law enforcement recently over a visit to a Newark immigration facility then doubled down and asked a more specific and pointed version of her question. Oh, okay. Of course not. Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons? she asked. I'm not going to answer that, Lyons said again."
Rep. LaMonica McIver directly confronted acting ICE Director Todd Lyons during a House hearing, accusing him of having blood on his hands and asking whether he will go to hell. Lyons twice declined to answer the personal and religious questions, saying he would not entertain them. McIver referenced deaths and widespread anti-ICE protests, including a recent Minneapolis incident in which federal agents shot and killed two people. House Homeland Security Chair Andrew Garbarino admonished members against aggressively attacking witnesses and told McIver to cease personal questioning. McIver faces assault charges from a tense Newark immigration facility visit, which she denies.
