Ilhan Omar: “We need to center the rights and dignity of the Kurdish people as Kurdish people.”

This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies.

For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back.

Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.

This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
