I guess Ilhan Omar wanted some more attention, because she's out here claiming her kid got pulled over by ICE.
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.
ICE, however, says it never happened.
From CBS News:
ICE's Acting Director Todd Lyons said the agency has 'absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar's son' and accused her of trying to 'unfairly demonize our law enforcement officers.'
Lyons also said Omar's allegations of racial profiling are 'disgusting, reckless and categorically false.'
Omar's office doubled down, though. Don't pay attention to how she's connected to all the fraud money being sent to Somalian warlords (your tax dollars and migrant remittances are supporting up to HALF of Somalia's economy).
Pay attention instead to random claims about how mean U.S. federal agents are when they try to enforce the law!
When asked about Lyons' statement, a spokesperson for Omar's office stood by the congresswoman's comments.
'ICE has long operated as a rogue agency beyond reform. It's no surprise that an agency known for disappearing people also can't keep its records straight," the spokesperson said. 'ICE now claims it has records of all the stops, and our office would welcome the opportunity to review them.'
I'm not sure claiming ICE pulled over her son is going to get her the sympathy from the American people that she's seeking 😂
It's looking a bit icy in the Twin Cities!
