Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) questioned acting ICE director Todd Lyons during a House Oversight Committee hearing, asking if he considers himself a "religious man" and how he thinks "Judgment Day will work" for him, given the agency's actions.
Lyons refused to answer McIver's questions, prompting her to ask directly if he thinks he's "going to hell," which led to committee chair Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) intervening and suspending her from speaking.
The exchange highlighted the tense debate over immigration policies, with McIver pushing for accountability and Garbarino emphasizing the need for "established standards of decorum and debate" in the committee, as seen in the YouTube video (youtu.be) of the hearing.
