We have just witnessed perhaps the most intense moment of the hearing so far.

New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Democrat, asked ICE Director Todd Lyons if he considered himself religious, and he said yes.

“How do you think Judgment Day will work for you with so much blood shed?” McIver asks.

“I’m not going to answer that question,” Lyons said.

McIver pressed closer and asked, “Mr. Lyons, do you think you’re going to hell?”

He refused to answer and Mr. McIver was cut off by the chairman.

White House accounts on social media later reacted to the moment, saying McIver’s question was “completely off base.”

“This is really messed up,” the account wrote.
