Woman Removed From Rep. Mike Lawler's Town Hall in New York

At a contentious town hall held by Rep. Mike Lawler in Somers, New York, social worker Emily Feiner was forcibly removed by security after persistently demanding that Lawler answer her question about his willingness to oppose alleged unconstitutional actions by the Trump administration. Attendees expressed their disapproval by chanting 'Let her stay!' and 'Shame!' as Feiner was carried out, with video of the incident widely circulated. Jennifer Cabrera, chair of a local Working Families Party chapter, was also ejected for filming the removal. Lawler responded to the unrest by admonishing the crowd to 'behave' but did not address the substance of the dissent or the removals directly. Feiner later stated she felt targeted as part of an effort to suppress dissent, describing a heavy security presence and strict entry rules at Lawler's recent town halls. The incident reflects broader concerns about the suppression of public criticism at political events.
