Lauren Boebert's Racially Charged Halloween Costume Sparks Backlash

Rep. Lauren Boebert and her boyfriend Kyle Pearcy, a real estate broker from Windsor, Colorado, attended a Halloween party in Loveland, Colorado, on Friday night, dressed in costumes depicting a Mexican woman and an immigration and customs agent, photos obtained by ABC News show.

The congresswoman was dressed in a traditional Mexican outfit and wearing a hat, while Pearcy wore an ICE vest over his fatigues.

A chalkboard sign that appeared in other photos from a separate public event the couple attended that same night and widely circulated online was hanging on the back of a chair and is outside the frame of the images, according to a party guest who spoke to ABC News.

The text on the sign, which appears to be a joke mocking the pronunciation of “you see,” read “Mexican word of the day: JUICY. Tell me if Juicy Ice is coming.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., attended a Halloween party dressed as a Mexican woman on Friday, while her boyfriend Kyle Pearcy wore an ICE vest over military-style clothing.

“It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Even conservatives [at the party] They were shocked. People avoided them,” said one person who attended the party.

In a statement to ABC News, Boebert’s office said: “It’s a Halloween costume. Tell our senators to vote CR and open the government. They are choosing to let millions of American families suffer.”
