Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., continues her streak of controversial
tweets, this time taking aim at the Department of Homeland
Security.
In a tweet Friday night, the freshman congresswoman refers to
President Trump as "Individual 1," and insists he doesn’t have
“public support” to “ram his hateful wall through Congress.”
“Let’s stand firm: #Not1Dollar to DHS,” Omar then urges fellow
Democrats.

@Ilhan
When Democrats stood our ground last month, we proved that
Individual 1 does not have the public support to ram his hateful
wall through Congress.
Let’s stand firm: #Not1Dollar for DHS.

While there have been growing calls from Democrats to abolish
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), there hasn’t been a
strong demand to defund the entire Department of Homeland
Security, which also includes the Transportation Safety
Administration, Secret Service, Coast Guard and Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
But just an hour before calling for DHS to be defunded, as Fox
News anchor Rob Schmidt points out, Omar tweeted her outrage on
behalf of TSA workers in Minnesota who haven’t received back pay
due to the recent partial government shutdown.
"Ilhan Omar angry and complaining TSA agents haven’t received
back pay," Schmitt writes, "then an hour later calls to defund
DHS... which would end TSA."

Omar has posted several controversial tweets since being elected
to Congress, including when she accused President Trump of
wanting a “coup” against Venezuela and insisted that Sen.
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was “compromised." She has also posted
several tweets attacking Israel, including one in which she
agreed with a liberal activist that current-day Israel is
similar to the U.S. South during the era of racial segregation.
