Bio
Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (born October 4, 1982) is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional district since 2019. The district includes all of Minneapolis and some of its suburbs. Omar was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 on the DemocraticFarmerLabor Party line. In 2018, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Born in Somalia, Omar immigrated to the United States in 1992. She is the first Somali-American, first naturalized citizen from Africa, and first non-white woman from Minnesota to be elected to Congress. She is also one of the first two Muslim women, along with Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, to serve in Congress. Omar is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and has advocated for a living wage, affordable housing, universal healthcare, student loan debt forgiveness, the protection of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She has strongly opposed the immigration policies of the Trump administration, including the Trump travel ban. She has been the subject of several death threats, conspiracy theories, other harassment by political opponents, and false and misleading claims by Donald Trump. A frequent critic of Israel, Omar has denounced its settlement policy and military campaigns in the occupied Palestinian territories, and what she describes as the influence of pro-Israel lobbies.(Source: Wikipedia)
