U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pulled over the son of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, the congresswoman said Sunday, as scrutiny of the Somali community intensifies.
"Yesterday ... he did get pulled over by (ICE) agents," Omar said in an interview with WCCO-TV, branded CBS Minnesota.
"Once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go," she added, noting her son "always carries it with him in case he gets pulled over."
Omar said ICE agents are "racially profiling ... (and) looking for young men who look Somali that they think are undocumented."
ICE has not commented on the incident.
