An unknown person attacked Ilhan Omar, a Muslim Democratic representative from Minnesota, during her speech.
The incident, which occurred during a public event, has not yet been officially released, with further details about the manner of the attack, Ilhan Omar’s physical condition, or the identity and motive of the attacker.
However, initial reports indicate that the attacker managed to approach Omar’s representative but was apparently detained or restrained by security forces before causing serious harm.
Ilhan Omar, one of the most prominent Muslim representatives in the US Congress, has repeatedly been severely criticized by Donald Trump and some right-wing circles and has been the target of numerous verbal attacks and threats due to her positions on US foreign policy, Israel, and human rights issues.
This incident comes at a time when domestic political tensions in the United States over racial, religious, and foreign policy issues have intensified, raising concerns about the safety of minority representatives in Congress.
