Republican incumbent Rep. Mike Lawler and Democratic challenger Cait Conley clashed in a one-hour televised debate on Pix11 over ICE enforcement and New York's sanctuary state policies. The debate centered on recent high-profile incidents—the Bronx shooting and the killing of Yorktown Heights college student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago by an undocumented immigrant. Lawler argued sanctuary laws prevented deportations and enabled crime; Conley acknowledged violent criminals should be deported but questioned ICE tactics.
“I believe that border security is national security and that we do need immigration enforcement to ensure that violent criminals and drug cartels and human traffickers and terrorist organizations aren't in our communities and that they are deported.”
