Trump said the administration would ease its immigration operations in Minneapolis, while Representative Ilhan Omar was attacked with liquid from a syringe at a town hall where she had criticized the crackdown.
President Donald Trump told Fox News the administration would “de-escalate a little bit” its Minneapolis operations, but said it was not a pullback. He also said he rejected the “assassin” label used for Alex Pretti and wanted an “honorable and honest investigation.” White House aide Stephen Miller said officials were reviewing whether Customs and Border Protection agents followed guidance before Pretti was shot.
At a Minneapolis town hall, Representative Ilhan Omar had called for abolishing ICE and demanded that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem resign or face impeachment when a man sprayed her with liquid from a syringe. Omar said she would not be intimidated and continued the event; police arrested the man on an assault charge.

19 OUTLETSAfter Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed at a Minneapolis town hall, President Donald Trump accused her of arranging the attack. He later called for her to be jailed or sent to Somalia. Left-leaning outlets criticize Trump’s accusation and connect his rhetoric to risks of political violence. Center outlets focus on the accusation, Omar’s response and details of the attack, with some also covering his later call for jail or removal. Right-leaning outlets report his claims that Omar staged the attack and his demand that she be jailed or sent to Somalia, with attention to the fraud allegations he invoked.
