Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is facing backlash from critics for encouraging violence after two separate shootings involving federal immigration agents in Portland and Minneapolis last week.
Critics have pointed to comments Omar made in a cable television interview accusing ICE of murder and other things she said this weekend while protesting in Minneapolis. Along with two other House members, she was seen on video visiting a Minneapolis detention facility over the weekend, flanked by a hoard of protesters and ICE hecklers.
Another video from the weekend showed Omar riding in the back of a pickup truck leading protesters through Minneapolis streets and telling folks that "we are going to make sure that these people pay for what they have done to us."
Omar's recent rhetoric, such as from this past weekend, has led her conservative critics to cry foul, arguing she is "inciting violence." The complaints come amid what people have lamented – particularly after conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death – is an uptick in political assassinations and assassination attempts the country has seen recently.
"Ilhan Omar is now on the ground with left-wing protestors in Minneapolis," conservative influencer and housing policy advisor at America First Policy Institute Benny Johnson noted over the weekend as Omar marched with folks. "And you guessed it, she’s encouraging violence against ICE."
"We are going to show all of them the door out. And we are going to make sure that these people pay for what they have done to us!" Omar can be heard saying to loud cheers while leading marchers from the truck. "We are committed to this resistance!"

I can’t post the article due to copyright complaint from ‘Wired’ but everyone needs to read this ‘primer’ that the Socialists are publishing.
What to Do if ICE Invades Your Neighborhood:
“It’s about what lever matches your risk tolerance, matches the resources that are available to you,” says Matt Mitchell, CEO of the risk-mitigation firm Safety Sync Group. “Not everyone has the same privileges. Some people want to donate money, some people want to write letters, some people want to read up on what law enforcement and CBP and ICE can and can’t do. Some people want to put their bodies in the space and assemble because that is our right, some people want to document. There are many different levels.”
She's Deep State.
When is somebody going to take this horrible woman out?! I’m serious.
Make them disappear.
