During an interview with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who is most well-known for potentially marrying her brother in order to help him become a U.S. citizen and for her connections to the rampant fraud in her home state, got called out for telling whoppers about her son allegedly being pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Blitzer kicked off the segment by saying, “You’ve said that federal immigration agents actually pulled over your son on Saturday and asked him to prove his citizenship. He is, of course, a U.S. citizen, as are you. The Department of Homeland Security says, and I’m quoting them: ‘ICE has absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son,’ and have accused you of seeking to quote demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt. Their words. What do you say to that?”
Omar responded to Blitzer’s question by saying, “Well, if ICE is saying that they have documentation of every single person that they have pulled over in Minneapolis, we would love to see that record because we’ve certainly, myself and the governor, have been asking them to share information with us on the ways in which they have interacted with Minnesotans.”
“They have not been able to provide a single information. So it is amazing that they’re able to put out this statement, saying definitely that they did not pull my son over when they haven’t been able to answer anything else. And ICE has been known to lie when it comes to their enforcement,” she concluded. In December 2025, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons flat-out rejected Omar’s claim that her son was pulled over by officers with the agency.
According to a report from KATV, Omar was doing an interview with WCCO when she alleged that her son made a stop at a local Target store and was then pulled over by ICE agents. However, once he showed the officers his passport ID, they let him go. Lyons put out a statement saying they had no record of pulling over the Minnesota Democrat’s son.
“It speaks volumes that Congresswoman Omar is leveling this accusation with absolutely zero proof. This ridiculous effort to unfairly demonize law enforcement officers is directly contributing to more than 1,150% increase in assaults and 8,000% increase in death threats against my officers and agents,” he continued. A clip of the video posted on X was not short on strong opinions in the comments.
“So that bi*ch lied,” one user wrote, getting straight to the point in only four words. “Her son would have taken cell phone video or audio of the encounter. Complete BS,” another user pointed out. “She doesn’t want to see evidence that they didn’t pull her son over because she knows it didn’t happen she wants to see a list of everyone they have detained so she can leak and exploit it,” someone else said. “Democrats are expert liars,” another user commented.
