一场聚焦与非法移民相关犯罪受害者的国会听证会周四演变成紧张对峙。
佐治亚州民主党众议员汉克·约翰逊因似乎无视遇难者家属的悲痛，转而攻击“MAGA共和党人”，遭到悲痛母亲们和德克萨斯州共和党众议员布兰登·吉尔的强烈反对。
这场激烈交锋发生在题为“庇护政策的人员代价”的听证会上，期间约翰逊声称遇难者家属的言论是“史蒂夫·米勒认可的”噱头，唯一目的是“煽动对有色人种移民的愤怒和偏见”。

在向据称被非法移民杀害和重伤的受害者家属短暂致以哀悼后，约翰逊立即转向党派攻击，辩称委员会本应就“特朗普MAGA减税政策”、特朗普的伊朗外交政策或“掩盖爱泼斯坦档案”的“人员代价”举行听证会。
他随后列举了一系列白人男性犯下的暴力犯罪，并提到了蕾妮·古德的死亡——她于1月在抗议移民执法时被联邦当局击毙。

“我不是在轻视今天摆在我们面前的这场悲剧，你们三位女士，但非移民造成的其他悲剧同样重要，”约翰逊说道。
他还指责共和党多数党为“制造戏剧效果”，战略性地将一名民主党证人夹在遇难者家属中间。
吉尔随即反驳，称约翰逊的长篇大论是“我听过的最令人作呕的证词之一”，并指责民主党议员在拜登政府执政四年的开放边境政策期间造成了这些悲剧。

不过，对约翰逊言论最尖锐的反驳来自18岁的布雷迪·海林的母亲詹·海林。布雷迪·海林于2025年与18岁的女友哈利·赫尔格森一同遇害，一名来自洪都拉斯的非法移民据称醉酒后在90号州际公路逆向行驶，撞上了两名青少年的汽车。
“你可以把我安排在任何位置、任何座位上。我的悲剧永远不会平息，”海林对约翰逊说。“今天是我们的日子。听听我们的声音。老老实实地坐在你的座位上。我不想听你指手画脚。”

她讲述了自己11岁和16岁的孩子仍在等待兄弟回家，并提到儿子的汽车仍作为警方证物被扣留，因此自家车库的车位一直空着。
“我们没法选墓碑，因为那太真实了。但你却坐在这里告诉我们这场听证会应该是什么样的，”海林说。“蕾妮·古德和‘天使家庭’不一样。她做出了选择……布雷迪和哈利没有选择权……他们遵守美国法律……却被一个毫不在乎的人夺走了生命。”

在海林发言后，卡丽萨·阿斯普尼斯的母亲帕特里夏·福克斯就约翰逊关于种族的言论进行回击。卡丽萨·阿斯普尼斯在一场据称由非法移民造成的肇事逃逸事故中受重伤。她指出：“我不知道有没有人注意到，我不是白人。我每天醒来都是棕色皮肤。”
“我不确定种族和这件事有什么关系，”福克斯说。“今天我们谈论的是四个孩子，而你们连一个小时都没法紧扣主题。”
“今天我们讨论的是庇护政策如何摧毁了我们的家庭。你们过来，用起重机把卡丽萨从床上抬起来，然后却告诉我、教训我这场听证会应该是什么样的。”

A congressional hearing featuring the victims of crimes tied to illegal immigration erupted into a tense confrontation Thursday.
Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., drew fierce backlash from grieving mothers and Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, for appearing to dismiss their tragedies while pivoting to attacks on “MAGA Republicans.”
The fiery exchange happened during a hearing focused on “The Human Toll of Sanctuary Policies,” during which Johnson claimed the victims’ families’ comments were a “Steve Miller-approved” stunt with the sole purpose of “stir[ring] up passion and prejudice against immigrants who are people of color.”

After offering brief condolences to the families of victims allegedly killed and critically injured by illegal immigrants, Johnson immediately pivoted to a partisan attack, arguing the committee should instead be holding hearings on the “human toll” of the “Trump MAGA tax cuts,” Trump’s foreign policy with Iran or the “cover up of the Epstein files.”
He went on to list a string of violent crimes committed by White men and noted the death of Renee Good, who was killed by federal authorities in January while protesting immigration enforcement.

“I’m not minimizing the tragedy that is before us today with you three women, but the other tragedies at the hands of non-immigrants are just as important,” Johnson said.
He also accused the Republican majority of strategically “sandwich[ing]” a Democrat witness between the victims’ families for “dramatic effect.”
Gill fired back, calling Johnson’s tirade “one of the most disgusting testimonies I have ever heard” and blaming Democrat lawmakers for the tragedies during four years of open borders under the Biden administration.

However, the most stinging reply to Johnson’s comments came from Jen Heiling, the mother of victim Brady Heiling, 18, who was killed along with his girlfriend, Hallie Helgeson, 18, in 2025, when an illegal immigrant from Honduras was allegedly driving the wrong way on I-90 while intoxicated, crashing into the teens’ car.
“You can put me in whatever order, in whatever seat. My tragedy is never going to be OK,” Heiling told Johnson. “Today’s our day. Hear us. Leave your butts in your seat. I don’t want to hear your butts.”

She described how her 11-year-old and 16-year-old children are still waiting for the teens to come home, noting that her garage stall remains empty because her son’s car is still being held as police evidence.
“We can’t pick a headstone because that makes it too real. But you can sit here and tell us about what kind of hearing this should be,” Heiling said. “Renee Good is not the same as angel families. She made a choice. … Brady and Hallie didn’t get a choice. … They were living [by] American laws … and they were stolen by somebody who doesn’t care.”

Patricia Fox, mother of Carissa Aspnes, who was seriously injured in a hit-and-run allegedly caused by an illegal immigrant, followed Heiling’s remarks by shooting back at Johnson’s comments about race, noting, “I don’t know if anybody has noticed, but I am not White. I wake up Brown every day.”
“I’m not sure what race has to do with any of this,” Fox said. “There’s four kids that we talked about today, and y’all can’t seem to stay on topic for what — an hour of your time.
“Today, we’re talking about sanctuary policies and how they have wrecked our families. Y’all come and y’all feed Carissa. You get her up from her bed using a crane, and then you tell me and lecture me what this hearing should be about.”
