In her interview with fangirl Esme Murphy on CBS Minnesota this past Sunday, Rep. Ilhan Omar related that her son had been pulled over by ICE in Minneapolis as a result of “racial profilng.” I doubt both the stop and the alleged racial profiling. The mantle of victimhood is handed down from genration to generation in the Omar’s family.
The online CBS Minnesota story now reads this way:
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.”
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.”
Who are ya gonna believe, me or your lyin’ representative?
ICE has absolutely ZERO record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son.
With no evidence, it is shameful that Congresswoman Omar would level accusations to demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt.
Allegations that ICE engages in ‘racial profiling’ are… https://t.co/WKTz0rpir1
