Congresswoman To ICE Chief: ‘Do You Think You’re Going To Hell?’Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Todd Lyons to his face if he believes he’s going to hell as a result of the violence and deaths being carried out by his federal agents.During a tense House hearing with Trump’s top immigration enforcement officials, McIver asked Lyons if he considers himself a religious man.“Yes, ma’am,” he said.“How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?” McIver asked. When Lyons said he wasn’t “going to entertain that question,” McIver jumped in again: “Do you think you’re going to hell, Mr. Lyons?”The chairman smacked the gavel and warned lawmakers to maintain “decorum.”“I was asking a question,” the Democratic congresswoman said, before continuing with more questions. “You guys are always talking about religion here and the Bible, I mean, it’s okay for me to ask a question, right?”You can watch their exchange here.In June, McIver was indicted by a grand jury for “forcibly impeding” federal officers outside of an ICE detention center in Newark, a crime that carries a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison. She has disputed the charges, saying they are politically motivated and an attempt to criminalize legislative oversight of the facility she was visiting.See All UpdatesClose
