Rep.Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., tore into his Democratic counterparts after a hearing on immigration policies erupted into a heated squabble as the mother of a murder victim killed by an illegal immigrant pleaded to Congress for reforms to sanctuary policies.In a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Lawler reprimanded Rep.
Jamie Raskin, D-Md., for not having sympathy for American victims who were murdered by illegal immigrants — Laken Riley and Sheridan Gorman.The mother of one of those victims, Jessica Gorman, was called as a witness to share her story before the committee ."They can save me their crocodile tears about they didn't like my words or they didn't like the fact that I spoke on policy as part of my introduction," Lawler told Fox News Digital.

They didn't want to hear what happened with Sheridan Gorman or that their policies that they support contributed to her death.That's a fundamental fact."The New York Republican accused House Democrats of being more empathetic toward the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, anti-ICE agitators who were shot to death by federal agents earlier this year after they allegedly interfered with law enforcement during protests in Minnesota.This led to chaos between the two, with Raskin shouting that Lawler didn’t belong on the Judiciary Committee and didn’t understand the Constitution.RASKIN TELLS LAWLER TO 'GET THE HELL OUT' DURING CONTENTIOUS HEARINGRep.
