Somali-born Minnesota representative says her son was let go once he produced his ID
Good morning, and welcome to our live coverage of US politics.
Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born Minnesota congresswoman, has said her son was pulled over by ICE agents on Saturday and asked to provide proof of citizenship.
“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,” she told WCCO’s Esme Murphy.
Omar fled civil war as a young child, came to the US as a refugee and became a US citizen in 2000.
