"Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was attacked by a man at a town hall event on Tuesday, with the interrupter spraying the congresswoman with an unknown substance. During a Minneapolis town hall, Omar called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign or face impeachment after federal officials shot and killed two citizens in the city this month. Minneapolis mother Renee Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent this month, while Alex Pretti was also shot and killed by federal officers amid a mass deployment crackdown."
"This f**king asshole is not getting away with this, Omar can be heard saying in the video after the man confronted her and colleagues tried removing the congresswoman from the event. The man who approached Omar was apprehended on the scene. People in the video can be heard telling the congresswoman to get checked before continuing the press conference. Omar continued the press conference, telling her team she needed 10 more minutes to speak to the crowd."
Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance by a man who approached her podium during a Minneapolis town hall and was apprehended on the scene.

Colleagues urged Omar to get checked after the incident; Omar resumed the event and asked for 10 more minutes to speak. Minneapolis has sued the administration over ICE presence, and local leaders have demanded federal agents leave following the shootings and protests.
