ICE kills. Congress investigates Ilhan Omar for objecting.
Hi Friends,
ICE is in Ilhan Omar's home state of Minnesota killing, teargassing, kidnapping, and racially profiling with show-your-papers stops.
Congresswoman Omar just participated in a hearing on ICE's abuses,1 where she angrily objected to such outrageous actions in "the U.S. goddamned states."2
A powerful way to push back right now is to support Ilhan Omar and to support RootsAction's campaigns to move the whole U.S. government to abolish ICE and all that goes with it.

Rightwing media, while expressing no concern over the hateful language that has accompanied ICE's violence, or over that violence itself, is going into a pretend panic over Omar using a bad word. And Republicans in Congress have opened an investigation, not into ICE setting up apartheid-like checkpoints in Minneapolis, or -- for that matter -- rampant Congressional insider trading, but into Ilhan Omar's personal finances.
At RootsAction we've stood with Ilhan Omar since she became a member of Congress in 2019 — and in every reelection campaign since, as well as during various attempts by others in the U.S. government to silence her.
Now is no time to let up.
Now is time to redouble our efforts and put an end to dangerous trends before they pass a point of no return.
