Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) is demanding answers from the Trump administration after she discovered that an undercover ICE agent was stationed outside of one of her town hall meetings, raising fears of intimidation by the agency just days before the state’s primary election. It was then that she called her supervisor and admitted that she was an agent of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a law enforcement agency within Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agent claimed that she was there as part of an undercover drug enforcement operation, though local law enforcement said they received no advance notice of such an operation from HSI. “It also raises serious and uncomfortable questions about the purpose of HSI’s presence outside of my event,” she went on. At worst, it emphasizes many Americans’ growing concern that the Trump administration uses ICE to surveil political opponents and may interfere with our democracy.”
