Minnesota Congressmember Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown liquid Tuesday during a town hall event in Minneapolis. Omar has long been a favorite target of President Donald Trump and his supporters, and the attack on her comes just days after Florida Congressmember Maxwell Frost was punched by a Trump supporter while attending the Sundance Film Festival.
"It's truly heartbreaking, this moment we find ourselves in," Omar said when she resumed her remarks, discussing the Trump administration's violent immigration crackdown. "But if we know anything about U.S. history, it's that everything is temporary, and we will find our way out of this."

In a video from the event, a man walks up and sprays what appears to be a liquid at the Minnesota Democrat — who is a frequent target of Trump — before he is taken away by security.

As outrage grows across the country over the Trump administration's deadly immigration crackdown in Minnesota, we speak with reporter Drew Harwell, who recently reported on the government's effort to hire thousands more ICE agents. According to an internal strategy document uncovered by The Washington Post, the federal government plans to spend $100 million over a one-year period in a "wartime recruitment" push, including online targeting of UFC fans, gun-rights supporters, military enthusiasts and more. Meanwhile, the administration's online messaging has repeatedly echoed white nationalist slogans.
"They're spending a lot of money on it, so you're just seeing it everywhere on social media now. And the question is: Who are they trying to attract?" says Harwell.
