Rep. Ilhan Omar

Representing Minnesota's 5th District in the People's House. @USProgressives Deputy Chair. Account managed by staff.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

This appears to be an execution by immigration enforcement. I am absolutely heartbroken, horrified, and appalled that federal agents murdered another member of our community. It is beyond shameful these federal agents are targeting our residents instead of protecting them.

This isn’t isolated or accidental. The Trump administration is trying to beat us into submission rather than protect us. This administration cannot continue violating constitutional rights under the guise of immigration enforcement. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Their presence is terrorizing our communities, violating rights, and taking lives with zero accountability. Minnesota was once a place of refuge, and Trump has turned it into a war zone where unchecked federal forces murder our neighbors.

New video shows ICE agents in Minneapolis wrestling a man to the ground, then shooting him multiple times.

Surprise, surprise: Trump's top labor prosecutor sided with Amazon, her former client, and hurt delivery drivers in their fight for fair working conditions.

It’s her responsibility to hold law-breaking companies accountable — not to give Trump's billionaire buddies bailouts.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

I have always, and will continue, to stand with the Ukrainian people and unequivocally condemn Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion. I voted against the Ukraine Support Act because of its inclusion of broad economic sanctions. Time and again, sanctions like these fail to achieve their stated goals while inflicting real suffering on ordinary people. Opposing Russian aggression does not require us to support policies that punish ordinary civilians who did not ask for this war.

The foreign policy establishment continues to return to the same failed playbook and expects different results. Economic sanctions fail to achieve their desired goals and in most cases are counterproductive to ending war.

I remain committed to supporting diplomacy, peace, and justice for the Ukrainian people affected by this horrific conflict. But I could not in good conscience support legislation that wages economic warfare on innocent civilians.

In a hearing Thursday, Ilhan Omar pressed Trump's top labor prosecutor on what she called a bailout for Amazon, one of the NLRB general counsel's former clients. https://t.co/HvGRxQSrGy

This is horrifying. A private prison corporation is profiting off the forced labor of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall.

People are being denied access to basic medical care & sanitation. They're given rotten food to eat.

It's not enough to shut these facilities down. Abolish ICE.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Congressman Jeff Van Drew on Delaney Hall, where detainees are paid $1/day or less for their work and are on hunger strike: "This is better treatment than people generally receive... the conditions are better than 90% of the world lives in, and probably half of America."

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Israel's war in Lebanon has killed thousands of civilians and displaced over a million — and the United States is bankrolling this terror. It's unconscionable.

We must pass @RepRashida's War Powers Resolution and stop the United States' complicity in Israel's war crimes.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump's war in Iran.

Americans have made it clear that they want no part in this reckless war.

Last month, Republicans pulled down the vote because they knew we had the support to pass it.

Tonight, let's get it done.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Happy Pride Month, Minnesota! ❤️

We won’t stop fighting until every single LGBTQ+ American can live authentically, free from the fear of discrimination.

The fight for equality continues! 🏳️‍🌈

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Thank you to everyone who came out to our May Town Hall in South Minneapolis!

Always grateful to connect monthly with Minnesotans. ❤️

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The people of Ethiopia deserve the right to choose their own future.

After years of violence and suffering, they deserve peace, justice, and respect for their sovereign voice.

The Ethiopian government must guarantee free and fair elections that reflect the will of the people.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

I was proud to secure $1 million in federal funding for the development of NEON Collective Kitchens in North Minneapolis!

This commercial kitchen space will create new opportunities for entrepreneurs in the Twin Cities and bring over 250 new jobs to our community. #DeliveringForTheFifth

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Last week, House Republicans pulled down the vote needed to stop Trump's war with Iran because they knew it was going to pass and upset Trump.

Congress has failed to assert its authority for 12 straight weeks.

End the war now.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We’re forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

I introduced a bill with @SenatorShaheen and @RepChrisPappas to put a stop to manufactured home evictions and hold bad landlords accountable. 

Let’s get this done.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The Bukele regime is trampling international law and basic human rights with impunity.

The United States must stop enabling Bukele’s regime immediately. All political prisoners must be freed and an independent investigation into these abuses must take place.

Free Ruth Lopez.

[Cristosal @Cristosal]

Salvadoran human rights lawyer and anti-corruption advocate Ruth has been in prison for one year without trial. She represented families of Venezuelan migrants Trump sent to CECOT and investigated over 50 corruption complaints against the Bukele regime. Ruth is a symbol of democratic courage and resistance.

Who is Ruth López?

✅Lawyer & human rights defender
✅Led 15 corruption investigations
✅BBC 100 Women (2024)
✅ABA Human Rights Award (2025)
✅ Prisoner of Conscience

Now: one year in prison, no due process

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

The issue was never simply a bill.

Black political representation is not a side issue.

The issue is whether institutions that benefit from Black talent, Black labor, and Black communities are willing to speak when Black political power is under attack.

Let this be a reminder that silence in moments of injustice carries consequences.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

I'm relieved to see the Minnesota legislature reach a deal to save Hennepin County Medical Center.

HCMC is our state's safety net hospital.

I'm glad to know its doors will remain open for thousands of Minnesotans who rely on it to get the critical care they need.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Hennepin County Medical Center is a lifeline—I know, three of my kids were born there.

Republicans’ Medicaid cuts are pushing hospitals like HCMC to the brink.

This is about whether people get care in a crisis.

Minnesota cannot lose its safety net hospital.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

My heart is with the communities impacted by the devastating wildfires burning across Northern Minnesota.

I'm incredibly grateful to our National Guard, emergency responders, and local officials working tirelessly to contain the fires and keep Minnesotans safe.
