Ilhan Omar actually said...

"My experience mirrors so many other Muslim Americans who have been threatened, injured, quite frankly, killed, due to profiling and discrimination."

"I learned a very critical lesson that day, that being Black and being Muslim put someone like me under double scrutiny."

"I really hope today's hearing helps to raise more awareness of the very life-changing impacts of discrimination against Muslims."

"These laws were designed to restrict the activities of foreign-born Americans, silence minorities, and weaken freedom of speech and the press."
