Struggling MAGA rep under fire as veteran kicked out of town hall meeting amid ICE fury

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) has come under fire after he had a veteran removed from a town hall meeting after asking questions about ICE.

The Trump-supporting congressman, whose seat is considered at high risk in this year's midterms, appeared at the SUNY Rockland Community College's Cultural Arts Center, where 450 members of the public attended to ask questions. A cordoned-off area outside saw a further 100 people gather in a protest labeled "Vigil for Victims of ICE".

Lawler was asked for his thoughts on what his "line" was when it came to opposing Donald Trump's administration and the rise in ICE presence in states across the country. One person shouted, "Answer the f---ing question."
