Rep. Lauren Boebert sparked backlash over her and boyfriend Kyle Pearcy 's couples costume for Halloween.
Photos shared online show Pearcy, a real estate broker, wearing a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent uniform while Boebert wrote a sombrero and held a chalkboard sign that stated: "Mexican word of the day: Juicy. Tell me if juicy ICE coming," mocking the pronunciation of "you see."
Several X users called the incident "racist" and "hateful," while a person who attended the party told ABC News that the costume was "the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, adding that "even the conservatives [at the party] were in shock" and that "people avoided them."
Boebert's office issued a statement attempting to downplay the controversy and deflect blame toward the U.
