Rep. Lawler to Newsmax: ICE Tracker Push ‘Illegal, Outrageous’

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., slammed a House Democrat’s proposal to create a public “ICE tracker” as “outrageous” and “illegal,” telling Newsmax on Wednesday that it would put federal immigration officers at risk and aid criminal illegal aliens.

The plan, pushed by Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., would reportedly make the locations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations publicly accessible through a House government website. Lawler said such a move would effectively “dox ICE officers” and obstruct law enforcement.

“It is seeking to inform criminal illegal aliens of where ICE is so they can avoid detainment,” Lawler told Newsmax’s “Newsline” host Bianca de la Garza. “It’s also seeking to inform protesters so they can interfere with their ability to enforce the law. It is fundamentally wrong. It is illegal, and we will not stand for it.”
