4.0
Relevance Score
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons refused to resign during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday after Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded he step down amid accusations of abusive mass deportation operations. Swalwell cited instances including allegedly dragging women and deporting a six-year-old later reported as a U.S. citizen, and referenced Lyons' Amazon Prime remark about enforcement efficiency. The exchange underscores renewed congressional scrutiny and proposals like the ICE OUT Act.
