Ilhan Omar said ICE agents stopped her son in Minnesota and released him after he showed his passport. She also accused federal agents of racial profiling amid an operation targeting undocumented Somali immigrants.
Omar said her son, Adnan Hirsi, was stopped after visiting a Target and asked to prove his citizenship. She said agents released him after he produced his passport; ICE had not commented on the incident. Omar also said her son had previously been present when federal agents entered a mosque, leaving without incident.
Omar said she warned her son that agents were looking for young men who looked Somali and might be undocumented. The article says federal agents entered the Twin Cities earlier in December to target undocumented Somali immigrants, following comments by President Donald Trump about Somali people and Omar. Omar later wrote to Kristi Noem and acting ICE director Todd Lyons, accusing agents of racial profiling.
