A House Judiciary Committee hearing on sanctuary city policies turns contentious after Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) begin trading accusations over immigration enforcement. According to reports, the confrontation erupts into a shouting match during the session as Lawler addresses the committee and moves to introduce a witness. Lawler criticizes sanctuary city policies as encouraging illegal immigration, while Raskin challenges the premise and disputes Lawler’s characterization of immigration-related laws and enforcement practices. The exchange escalates amid the hearing’s back-and-forth rhetoric, with both lawmakers interrupting one another and raising tensions inside the committee room. One account describes Raskin telling Lawler to “get the hell out” during the heated moment, while other reporting characterizes the episode as a shouting match that disrupts the hearing. The disagreement centers on whether sanctuary city policies facilitate illegal immigration and how local jurisdictions should interact with federal immigration enforcement. The incident underscores the broader political divide in Congress over immigration policy and the role of local governments in enforcement.
