In an interview with fangirl CBS Minnesota’s Esme Murphy over the weekend, Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar alleged her son was “racially profiled” and stopped by ICE. According to her, he escaped the clutches of ICE by showing his passport. ICE has now responded:
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 disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity. Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, DHS law enforcement uses “reasonable suspicion” to make arrests.
ICE or ice? Omar is a cold-blooded liar. Wolf Blitzer asked Omar to respond to ICE’s statement yesterday. Dear reader, you be the judge.
.@Ilhan Omar—caught in a lie about her son being profiled by ICE—says “ICE has been known to lie…”
Says the woman who lied about her marriage to her brother. https://t.co/7v1hYYlzTE pic.twitter.com/A6rgpeRHZx
