A House Judiciary Committee hearing on June 30 devolved into a shouting match between Reps. Mike Lawler and Jamie Raskin over the issue of sanctuary policies. The exchange became intensely personal, with Raskin telling Lawler to “get the hell out of here.” Lawler responded by calling his colleague “a disgrace.”
The clash occurred during a hearing focused on immigration, with the debate specifically targeting policies that protect undocumented immigrants from federal authorities. The sharp disagreement between the lawmakers highlighted the deep partisan divisions on the committee regarding immigration enforcement and related policies.
