That’s what she says. Straight out of her…mouth (WOOF. Had to bite that one back…).
Ilhan Omar confirms her son was pulled over and detained by ICE.
President Trump also recently announced Ilhan was under investigation for marrying her brother.

Darn those nasty, profiling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) types doing enforcing the law work.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said her adult son was pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Saturday in Minnesota and asked to provide proof of citizenship.
“Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by ICE agents,” Omar, who said her son was born in the U.S., told WCCO-TV of the Twin Cities in an interview Sunday. “Once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go.”
Omar, who immigrated to the U.S. when she was 12 after having fled Somalia’s civil war, also accused ICE of “racially profiling” her community.
“They are looking for young men who look Somali that they think are undocumented,” she said.
Anytime this vicious, lying piece of imported crap opens her yap and spins a yarn, I am tempted to use my favorite ‘didn’t happen but in yellow’ meme.
I think I will.
So let’s see what the survey says, shall we?
Omar’s sticking like progressive glue to the dramatic tale.
…Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told Fox News Digital the Democratic lawmaker stands by her account of the situation.
“The congresswoman’s son and others were pulled over by ICE, racially profiled, and forced to prove their citizenship with a passport,” Rogers said.
Oh, wait a second. It takes a bit of digging to find an actual news report that gives details of the stop Omar is recounting as a purely profiling incident.
Her little lad was pulled over for speeding. He wasn’t stopped just because he was brown-skinned with a thin nose.
That context is important as speeding is a serious traffic violation, not a ‘how you look’ violation.
…Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) told local news station WCCO in the Twin Cities, a CBS affiliate station, that her son was pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for speeding on Saturday and was asked to prove his citizenship. Her son was able to produce a passport identification, and was let go thereafter, Omar said in the interview.
WAAH
…”This is targeted, tyrannical, and unacceptable and it’s appalling for Congress to keep abdicating its responsibility and handing over power to a bunch of corrupt, bigoted autocratic thugs,” writer and cultural critic Soraya Nadia McDonald posted on Bluesky.
“Given that they can run plates, this was potentially targeted,” Harvard law professor Alejandra Caraballo posted on Bluesky. “This administration is completely out of control.”
“Sickening world,” Timothy McBride, law professor at Washington University in St. Louis, posted on Bluesky. “Rep. Omar is brilliant and I appreciate her leadership and wisdom so much.”
“What Trump is doing to the Somali-American community is deplorable,” journalist Marisa Kabas posted on Bluesky.
“This needs looking into,” journalist Michael McGough posted on X.
Yeah, yeah, yeah *insert yawn*
Where I am confused by the events as Omar recites them is why ICE would be running traffic enforcement. Do they have nothing better to do?
I don’t know about you, but this sounded a little sketchy to me. The improbability factor is only compounded by who is telling the tale, which turns out to be the giveaway that it’s bunk.
According to the government, the meme holds.
THIS NEVER HAPPENED BUT IN SOMALI
ICE has absolutely ZERO record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son.
With no evidence, it is shameful that Congresswoman Omar would level accusations to demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt.
Allegations that ICE engages in ‘racial profiling’ are… https://t.co/WKTz0rpir1

…Allegations that ICE engages in ‘racial profiling’ are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity. Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, DHS law enforcement uses “reasonable suspicion” to make arrests.
I kinda had a feeling that was the case, you know?
…Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons pushed back on the assertion on Tuesday, telling Fox News Digital the incident never happened.
“ICE has absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son,” Lyons said.
“It speaks volumes that Congresswoman Omar is leveling this accusation with absolutely zero proof.”
Lyons called Omar’s comments to the local outlet a “ridiculous effort” to demonize federal law enforcement. He also said her rhetoric contributes to a spike in threats against ICE personnel, citing a 1,150% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
If they can nail this anti-American, hate-spewing viper for immigration fraud, denaturalize her, and ship her back to Mogadishu on a tramp freighter, it won’t be a minute too soon.
An embark box fitted with a cot and MREs in the cargo hold of Captain Katanga’s regal steamer would be a dream trip.
And more than she deserves.
