What happened
A House Judiciary Committee hearing on sanctuary policies erupted Tuesday into a shouting match between Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. Lawler, appearing to introduce a witness, accused Democrats of ignoring victims of crimes tied to illegal immigration, while Raskin pressed him to condemn other politically charged killings and told him to “get the hell out.” The exchange escalated as Lawler called Raskin an “absolute disgrace” and said he “should be ashamed,” turning the immigration hearing into a partisan confrontation over blame, public safety and federal enforcement.
