Omar Calls for ICE Abolition and Agent Prosecution Amid DHS Funding Debate

Rep. Ilhan Omar held a press conference with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, demanding accountability for federal law enforcement following the fatal shootings of two individuals by immigration officials in Minneapolis. Omar called for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the abolition of ICE, and urged Democrats to oppose funding for Homeland Security. She described federal deportation efforts as “state-sanctioned violence” and accused the current administration of targeting vulnerable communities. Pressley supported Omar’s stance, criticizing the president’s policies and the actions of ICE agents.
