The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)<\/a> rejected a viral claim from Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., that her son was pressed for proof of U.S. citizenship by agency personnel after stopping at a Minnesota Target over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Omar had told CBS\u2019 Twin Cities affiliate<\/a> that her son was subjected<\/a> to a traffic stop-type encounter by ICE agents on Saturday, but ultimately let go without further issue after he was able to produce a U.S. passport or passport card.<\/p>\n

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons pushed back on the assertion on Tuesday, telling Fox News Digital the incident never happened.<\/p>\n

“ICE has absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar\u2019s son,” Lyons said.<\/p>\n

“It speaks volumes that Congresswoman Omar is leveling this accusation with absolutely zero proof.”<\/p>\n

Lyons called Omar\u2019s comments to the local outlet a “ridiculous effort” to demonize federal law enforcement. He also said her rhetoric contributes to a spike in threats against ICE personnel, citing a 1,150% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats.<\/p>\n

Omar, who has three children, said her son had gone out for an errand when ICE purportedly made contact.<\/p>\n

Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told Fox News Digital the Democratic lawmaker stands by her account of the situation.<\/p>\n

“The congresswoman\u2019s son and others were pulled over by ICE, racially profiled, and forced to prove their citizenship with a passport,” Rogers said.<\/p>\n

“ICE has long operated as a rogue agency beyond reform. It\u2019s no surprise that an agency known for disappearing people also can\u2019t keep its records straight. ICE now claims it has records of all the stops, and our office would welcome the opportunity to review them.”<\/p>\n

Omar also responded to President Donald Trump<\/a> calling her “garbage” amid a burgeoning fraud scandal involving Minnesota\u2019s Somali community and officials in St. Paul. Omar said it is “really disturbing and creepy to have the President of the United States be obsessed with you and those who share your ethnicity.”<\/p>\n

She also rebuked claims Trump made<\/a> at a rally near Swiftwater, Pennsylvania last week that she had married her brother to help obtain U.S. citizenship.<\/p>\n

“Everybody knows I came to the United States at the age of 12; gained my citizenship<\/a> at the age of 17,” Omar said.<\/p>\n

In remarks to the CBS affiliate, Omar also criticized the Trump administration for villainizing Somalis amid the fraud scandal:<\/p>\n

“Here in the United States, we don’t blame the crimes of an individual on a whole community. We are, as Minnesotans, also outraged by the fact that our tax dollars were defrauded,” Omar said, telling the CBS affiliate she supports any investigation into whether Minnesota state funds have ended up in the hands of East African terror group Al-Shabab.<\/p>\n
