Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said during an interview that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pulled over her son and asked him to prove his citizenship. “Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents, and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go,” Omar told WCCO, according to CBS News.  Omar said her son always carries his passport in case he gets pulled over.

After that, she said she “had to remind him just how worried I am, because all of these areas that they are talking about are areas where he could possibly find himself in and they are racially profiling, they are looking for young men who look Somali that they think are undocumented.” Earlier this month, federal agents surged into the Twin Cities with the stated goal of targeting undocumented Somali immigrants. The enhanced focus on the Somali community came after President Trump said he doesn’t “want them in our country” and called Omar herself “garbage.” On Friday, Omar sent a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Todd Lyons, acting director of ICE, accusing federal agents of “blatant racial profiling” and “an egregious level of unnecessary force” in the Twin Cities. “We’re seeing racial profiling, an egregious level of unnecessary force, and activity that appears designed for social media rather than befitting a law enforcement agency,” Omar said. “I’m demanding answers on behalf of my constituents whose rights are being violated,” she added.

Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) December 12, 2025 More from Axios: Omar asked DHS to release data on the number of individuals arrested during Operation Metro Surge, including the number of U.S. citizens being detained. She’s also asked the agency to provide information on ICE surge preparations, ways for the public to report potential rights violations and the estimated cost to taxpayers. “I can’t imagine a clearer example of waste, fraud, and abuse than what ICE leadership has unleashed in neighborhoods across the Twin Cities,” Omar wrote. Omar also requested on Friday that DHS answer her concerns about the administration potentially removing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 750 Somali refugees. “Somali TPS holders – some of whom have lived in the U.S. for almost three decades – have built lives for themselves here, starting businesses, raising families, and becoming important members of their communities,” Omar said. Somalis were first granted TPS in 1991, and extended protections to remain in the U.S. 27 times. They are currently extended through March 17, 2026, prompting Omar to ask why the administration is considering revoking it earlier. In her letter, Omar requested that DHS explain what “legal and factual” basis the agency has for potentially removing TPS status for Somalis, and what is being considered to help them make that decision.
