Скачать или смотреть We don’t walk streets asking about citizenship: ICE acting director Lyons at DHS hearing in Congress

ICE acting director Todd Lyons faced pointed questions during a tense House Homeland Security hearing, as lawmakers pressed DHS leaders on immigration enforcement tactics, claims of U.S. citizens being questioned, and agency accountability.

In the exchange, Lyons said ICE officers conduct “targeted intelligence driven operation[s]” and told lawmakers: “We don’t walk around on the streets asking people about their American citizenship.” A lawmaker challenged that claim and questioned Lyons about racial profiling and “proof of citizenship.” The exchange escalated when a lawmaker cited historic regimes and compared demands for citizenship papers to “nefarious” governments, prompting a heated back-and-forth.

The hearing also featured sharp disagreement over political rhetoric about ICE, the use of masks by agents, and disputed statistics about assaults and threats against officers — with lawmakers and DHS officials contesting the scale and causes.
