US EditionRep. Ilhan Omar and Trump clash at State of the Union over immigration, fraud
Rep. Ilhan Omar challenged President Trump’s immigration remarks, accusing him of killing Americans amid heated debate on Minnesota’s Somali community and federal enforcement actions.
- During the Feb. 24 address, President Donald Trump singled out Minnesota's Somali community, alleging $19 billion in fraud and saying, `The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota...`, while Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., loudly interrupted and called him a liar.
- Amid scrutiny of Minneapolis operations, two U.S. citizens, Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, were killed by ICE in Minnesota, and Omar invited affected constituents to the State of the Union.
- The chamber reaction was split, with Republican attendees chanting `U-S-A` and standing while Democrats displayed protest signs and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., yelled toward the dais.
- A 50-45 failed vote on DHS funding Tuesday, hours before the address, highlighted the impasse after Democrats refused new funding post-Minnesota deaths, leading to a partial shutdown.
- The address served as a midterm message for President Donald Trump, with a record 1 hour and 48 minutes length, previewing a hardline campaign as the Republican Party faces an uphill challenge.
