"ICE has absolutely ZERO record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar's son, the DHS said on its official X account. The account said it was shameful that Omar made the claim with no evidence. Her goal, the DHS said, was to demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt. DHS, which is run by Kristi Noem, added: Allegations that ICE engages in racial profiling' are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE."
"Omar told WCCO in Minneapolis on Sunday that her son was hassled by ICE. Omar said she told her son that ICE was racially profiling Somalis and people who they think are undocumented. She said her son saw ICE agents come into his mosque last Friday, but nothing happened. Omar said the next day, when her son was coming home from Target, he was pulled over by ICE agents. And once he was able to produce his passport I.D., they let him go."
Department of Homeland Security officials stated that ICE has no record of pulling over Rep. Ilhan Omar's son and called the allegation baseless and a PR stunt aimed at demonizing ICE. DHS labeled allegations of racial profiling 'disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE' and said immigration enforcement targets those illegally in the U.S., not people based on skin color, race, or ethnicity. Rep. Omar reported that her son was hassled by ICE, that agents entered his mosque without incident, and that he was stopped near a Target and released after producing a passport ID. The account followed President Trump's recent disparaging remarks about Somalis.
