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."

We speak with Congressmember Delia Ramirez following an attack on her colleague, Congressmember Ilhan Omar, who was sprayed with an unknown foul-smelling liquid while speaking at a town hall event in Minneapolis on Tuesday. "This is a direct influence of what you're seeing from this president," Ramirez says, criticizing Trump's policies and his long history of attacking Omar in particular.
Ramirez also discusses her efforts in Congress to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Ramirez says Noem's agency is "rotten from the inside out" and must be completely dismantled. "You have an agency killing people, executing them, lying about it, and then talking about investigating themselves while operating with impunity."

Ramiro González, a construction worker from Tampa, told the meeting he deregistered as a Republican because he found Trump's "inaction" during both Jan. 6 and the COVID-19 pandemic "disturbing." He asked Trump to square his controversial behavior during the attack on the U.S. Capitol—and the fact that many of his own former administration officials don't support him any longer—with why he should be re-elected.
