Hannity and Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones Clash on Fox News Over ICE

The heated exchange followed the Minneapolis killing of Renee Good that has intensified scrutiny of the agency.

Overview

  • Jones compared ICE to the Ku Klux Klan, called for abolishing the agency, and held up a photo of masked agents during the segment.
  • He told Hannity his children would be ashamed of him and claimed that most people detained by ICE have no criminal convictions.
  • Hannity defended ICE, cited violent crimes by undocumented immigrants in Tennessee, pressed Jones to name victims, and called him a disgrace.
  • The interview referenced the recent shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, which ICE says was self-defense and local officials dispute.
  • State officials have sued the Trump administration seeking to remove ICE from their jurisdiction, a move legal experts have described as a long shot.
