Washington, D.C. — In response to the news that the Trump administration raided Representative Ilhan Omar’s home, Joel Payne, MoveOn’s Chief Communications Officer, released the following statement: 

“Representative Omar is a dedicated public servant and a true ally for working families, and Donald Trump has done nothing but use racist tropes and stereotypes to attack her. Now, he’s abusing his power to physically intimidate and harass her. On November 3rd, we get our chance to fight back and hold him and his corrupt administration accountable.”
