Ilhan Omar actually said...

We are living in a time in our history as a world where there are more people displaced than any given time in our history.

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

I have dealt with racist, xenophobic, bigoted comments and threats all my life.

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