Rep. Ilhan Omar and Trump clash at State of the Union over immigration, fraud
Trump linked immigration to fraud and corruption, provoking heated exchanges with Democrats during a record-long State of the Union address focused on enforcement and funding disputes.
- During his Feb. 25 address, President Donald Trump alleged $19 billion in fraud tied to Minnesota's Somali community, while Rep. Ilhan Omar called him a liar from the House chamber.
- ICE began winding down Operation Metro Surge earlier this month after two U.S. citizens died in Minneapolis and Rep. Ilhan Omar brought four Minnesota constituents harmed by ICE to the State of the Union.
- At the heart of the address, Trump said, 'The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception,' and announced Vance will lead a 'war on fraud.'
- A vote to advance Department of Homeland Security funding failed 50-45 hours before President Donald Trump's address, amid the 11th day of a partial DHS shutdown.
- Despite the president's claims, prosecutors say stolen funds could total $9 billion, though reporting shows alleged fraud uncovered so far is closer to $200 million, with 82 people charged.
