As a leftist Muslim immigrant from Somalia, radical Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is wonderfully blessed with a DEI press. She is perennially assumed to be a victim of racism, sexism, and xenophobia whenever she is criticized, and especially when she's verbally targeted by President Trump.
At the end of a typically syrupy interview with Esme Murphy from the local CBS station WCCO in Minneapolis on Sunday, Omar claimed her 19-year-old son Adnan Hirsi was pulled over by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement personnel.
"Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by ICE agents, and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go," Omar asserted. She said her son "always carries" his passport with him, because she tells him ICE agents "are racially profiling, they are looking for young men who look Somali that they think are undocumented."
