Proud my amendment passed in the Enhancing Detection of Human Trafficking Act in the House!
It will strengthen how we identify human trafficking cases and require agencies to consult victim advocates so our response is truly survivor-centered.
Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives.
I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Praying for Nicole’s family and loved ones 🙏🏽

What an honor to host this year’s Congressional Iftar with my brother and sisters, @carson.house.gov, @replsimon.bsky.social, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib!
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night to break fast ❤️
May we never dim our light!
This week, the House will be voting on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie.
I will be voting YES to stop U.S. involvement in another illegal forever war.
My Youth Advisory Council took a field trip to the Minnesota State Capitol building where they shared their priorities with our state legislators.
I’m so proud of these incredible students and the bright vision they have for our future!
In Minnesota, we’re blessed to have incredible Black leaders working to build a brighter future for our state.
As we wrap up Black History Month, I want to highlight the work of a few exceptional Black leaders from the Fifth District.

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."
Abolish ICE. We need an immigration system that is lawful, humane, and treats people with the justice and dignity they deserve.
The heavy-handed response to a peaceful guest sends a chilling message about the state of our democracy. I am calling for a full explanation of why this arrest occurred.
Reports indicate she was aggressively handled until someone intervened to secure medical attention. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment and later booked at the United States Capitol Police headquarters.
My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president’s speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with ‘Unlawful Conduct. 🧵
Ryan called my office when he needed help getting a refund for a student loan overpayment. My casework team was able to work with the Department of Education to get his money returned to him.
My office is here for you! #DeliveringForTheFifth

Housing is a human right.
I sat down with Sabathani Community Center’s leadership to learn more about their affordable housing development initiative and find ways to support their work at the federal level.
The American people do not want war.
Trump is threatening an illegal strike on Iran. This will do nothing but bring needless death and destruction.
We cannot let warmongers override Congress's power. No war with Iran.
I love meeting with our incredible students across the Fifth District ❤️
Spent my morning answering students’ questions at St. Louis Park Middle School and hearing about their vision for the future.
Because of them our future is bright.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our February Town Hall yesterday evening in Golden Valley!
Shoutout to the Teamsters Local 120 for bringing their food truck on this snowy night! ❄️

I sat down with leaders and volunteers from Minnesota’s Center for African Immigrants & Refugee Organization to learn more about the incredible work they’re doing to support our immigrant communities, especially as ICE has continued to terrorize our state.
My heart is full. It was a joy to celebrate and honor our Black community leaders at Camden Social in North Minneapolis for Black History Month. ✊🏾
Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and around the world!
May this blessed month bring peace, hope, and renewal ❤️
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and beyond!
May this new year bring you joy, good health, and many blessings.
Let’s spread radical love this Valentine’s Day!
Minnesota showed the world what is possible. I've never been more proud to be Minnesotan. ❤️
Next week I’ll be holding my monthly town hall in Golden Valley at 6pm CT.
I’ll never back down fighting for you and bringing your voices to the People’s House!

This administration has been hellbent on silencing Mahmoud Khalil.
I met with him today to hear updates on his and Leqaa's cases.
The administration tried to make him disappear, but he’s in the halls of Congress advocating and speaking out 💪🏽
Today the House voted on the SAVE Act, a bill that disenfranchises millions of Americans — especially women.
This is just another ploy by Republicans to rig elections.
Voted NO.
Trump’s trade war with Canada has been disastrous for Minnesotans. From groceries to gas prices, folks have seen costs skyrocket.
Instead of fighting to bring prices down, Republicans are blocking our vote to repeal Trump's tariffs on Canada. It's shameful.

Under Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE agents murdered two Minnesotans in broad daylight. Her rogue agency is deporting children to detention centers with no due process. The cruelty under her watch is unconscionable.
Kristi Noem must go.
Best of luck to the 26 Minnesotans competing for gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics! And a special shout out to our Fifth District athletes - Minneapolis snowboarder Iris Pflum and Golden Valley biathlete Lucinda Anderson. We are so proud of you!
