'It Is State-Sanctioned Violence': Ilhan Omar Tears Into ICE, Blasts GOP For Increasing Funding

Published January 25, 2026 | Video Starts at 00:48

I am sick and tired of seeing Republicans reward a rogue agency that inflicts harm on our communities. Congressional Republicans greenlit sending $400 million more to ICE detention and $370 million more to ICE enforcement. This is on top of the unprecedented $170 billion the agency received in Trump's big ugly bill. ICE has tormented our communities. Let's be clear, we are witnessing. What we are witnessing from ICE is not law enforcement. It is state sanctioned violence. A woman was killed. (00:48–00:58)
