The article reports that Omar and Tlaib shouted at Trump during his State of the Union address, with Omar also calling him a liar. The next day, Trump posted that the two lawmakers should be institutionalized and sent back to where they came from, although both are U.S. citizens. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Trump’s rhetoric xenophobic and disgraceful; Tlaib said his comments showed he was “crashing out.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The article connects the exchange to criticism of Trump’s immigration enforcement actions after fatal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota and deaths in ICE detention. Trump has said his actions aim to tackle fraud and improve domestic security, while rights groups say the crackdown has created fear and targets immigrants.
