Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unkown liquid by a man who walked down the aisle; attendees tackled and detained him and police later charged him with third\u2011degree assault. Minneapolis officers said the suspect used a syringe to spray the substance,forensic teams were dispatched,and Omar was uninjured and resumed speaking. At the event she was calling for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign or be impeached and angrily refused to leave after the incident. afterward Omar said she\u2019d survived war and would withstand intimidation. The report also places the incident in the context of Omar\u2019s recent prominence in local controversies \u2014 including disputes over immigrant\u2011related fraud and vocal criticism of ICE and border\u2011enforcement actions following recent deaths.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A man who sprayed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/she-claimed-she-was-kidnapped-and-raped-police-say-she-lied-to-get-u-s-citizenship-and-shes-not-the-first\/\" title=\"She Claimed She Was Kidnapped And Raped.
