‘Do You Think You’re Going to Hell?’: N.J. Democrat Spars with Trump’s ICE Director

Rep. McIver called for ICE defunding amid concerns over enforcement tactics and cited the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by an off-duty ICE officer, sparking bipartisan tension.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver confronted acting ICE Director Todd Lyons at a Capitol Hill hearing, asking him `with so much blood on your hands` if he thought he was going to hell.
  • Also Monday, two New Jersey Democrats introduced bills to limit Homeland Security powers, citing Keith Porter Jr.'s killing and a day before McIver's remarks.
  • In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week, Rep. Nellie Pou , sponsor of the Protecting License Plate Access for Transparency and Enforcement Act, said agents' obscured plates violate state law and masks `have left Americans in fear and uncertainty`.
  • The hearing turned contentious when Chairman Andrew Garbarino rebuked McIver, saying her questioning was out of line while she accused the agency of `laughs at oversight`.
  • Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman said the systematic arrests of immigrants attending court hearings `violate fundamental values of fairness` and push people into the shadows, risking justice and access.
