“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar claimed her son was pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Saturday to probe his citizenship.
“Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents, and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go,” Omar (D-Minn.) told WCCO, a local radio station.
She noted that her son “always carries” his passport as a precaution.
ICE’s alleged questioning of her son took place amid the agency’s crackdown in Minnesota, which was inspired by a $1 billion fraud scandal that had roiled the state.
