Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) squared off against federal agents at an ICE facility in Minneapolis on Saturday, joining protesters after she was kicked out of the detention center.
The controversial Somali-born Omar, 43, and Congress members were turned away while attempting to gain entry into an ICE processing center at the Whipple Building in Minneapolis
Video circulating online showed Omar and Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) and Kelly Morrison (D-MN), flanked by activists and photographers, squaring off against masked military members holding massive rifles who formed a line at the entrance to the facility.
The trio were briefly allowed inside before being booted, Omar told The Star Tribune.
“Shortly after we were let in, two officials came in and said they received a message that we were no longer allowed to be in the building and that they were rescinding our invitation and denying any further access to the building,” she told the outlet.
“Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained,” Omar wrote on X after being turned away.
“The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities,” she concluded. Nearly a dozen protesters had been arrested Thursday at the same facility.

She is here illegally and it is long overdue to do something about it.
This puta is well past her expriration date.
She needs to be gone.....for good.
They say Samolia is nice this time of year.
“Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained,
I don’t see that in the Constitution.
What they could do is go back to DC and pass a bill cutting their money off.
Let her in, but don’t let her out.
Kicked OUT of the detention center? She ought to be housed in one!
This is pretty much a make or break moment for them as the Trump feds are going for the entire Somali package.
Please let her drive a car while she protests.
In the same way as when she said “some people did something”.
Despicable POS is trying to get arrested to get more cred with the mob.
Even for the short time she was inside the place probably had to be fumigated.
Barrett M107s? Lahti L-39s? Impressive if true, but not very likely.

Omar getting kicked out of ICE facility.
There’s a famous bridge in Mogadishu where she should hang out...

Just checking to see if her future accommodations are up to her highly refined standards.

Next step is to kick her out of America.
Somebody should ask her if she agrees with the Somali who when asked about the fraud said that his religion says it is good to lie and that the money that Somalis have stolen from US taxpayers is simply the jizya tax that should be collected from all non-Muslims.
Somebody should also get Keith Ellison on record about those questions.
Arrest her. Then Deport her.
Ah damn. They had her and let her Go?
