Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, USA, was attacked by a man who sprayed an unknown substance on her using a syringe during a public meeting.

The incident occurred immediately after Ilhan Omar called for the resignation of the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and requested the abolition of ICE. The man was removed by the security team and detained by the police, being charged with third-degree assault. Although it was unclear what substance was used, Omar continued to speak, emphasizing that she would not let the aggressors win.

The Capitol Police condemned the incident and promised to work with federal authorities to punish the attacker. Omar reaffirmed that the community in Minnesota is strong and resilient in the face of challenges.
