This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

‘It’s better to not have a job than to drive through Hellam,’ she said. Hines said her analysis of an early batch of DHS records showed that 80% of the 287(g) arrestees in York County did not have a criminal record or pending charges.”

Local police departments in neighboring York county have chosen to terrorize our immigrant community in order to profit off the arrests. We can see in real time the fear and erosion of trust created by local police signing 287(g) agreements with ICE.
