We’ve just seen perhaps the most firey moment of the hearing so far.
New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Democrat, asks ICE boss Todd Lyons if he considers himself a religious man, to which he says yes.
“How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?” McIver asks.
“I’m not going to entertain that question,” Lyons said.
McIver presses further, asking: “Do you think you’re going to hell, Mr Lyons?”
He refuses to answer, and McIver was then cut off by the committee’s chairman.
A White House account on social media has since responded to the moment, saying McIver “steps completely out of line” with her question.
“This is seriously messed up,” the account wrote.
