A Latino lawmaker was forced to defend his citizenship after he was publicly questioned by Republican Rep. Mike Lawler during a meeting on the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in New York.
During the Tuesday meeting, José Alvarado, a Democratic member of Westchester County's Board of Legislators, presented a hypothetical scenario to Lawler in which he asked what he should carry "to demonstrate that this immigrant is the vice chairman of this board" if he were approached by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
