Jasmine Crockett tearfully condemns Republicans after ICE shooting: 'I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed' [View all]

“I’m just asking if there’s any decency or heart or courage on that side of the aisle,” said the 44-year-old Texas congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett delivered a tearful plea to Republicans in Congress following the tragic death of Renee Good by the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

During a Thursday markup hearing for the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, Crockett opened up about her exasperation with her colleagues on the other side of the aisle, who were advancing a handful of bills targeting immigrants and eliminating cash bail.

“It is so hard to sit here sometimes because I didn’t come to Congress to write laws or to do things that are hurting people. I’m just asking if there’s any decency or heart or courage on that side of the aisle,” said the 44-year-old Texas congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate.
