Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons has rejected the viral claims made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) alleging that ICE agents pulled over her son after he went to Target.

Omar alleged in an interview that her son got pulled over by ICE agents, asserting that he was allowed to leave once he produced his passport.

“He did get pulled over by ICE agents and once he was able to produce his passport ID they did let him go,” she claimed.

“So your son went to Target last night with his passport,” the WCCO interviewer asked.

“He always carries it with him,” Omar said.

“In case he gets pulled over,” the interviewer said, adding, “which he did by ICE.”

“Yes,” Omar agreed.

Lyons said Omar has not produced proof this happened.

“ICE has absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son,” Lyons said, according to Fox News Digital.

“It speaks volumes that Congresswoman Omar is leveling this accusation with absolutely zero proof,” he added, noting that Omar is making these claims to continue to vilify ICE.

However, Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers said the Democrat congresswoman is sticking to her story.

Rogers said in part, “The congresswoman’s son and others were pulled over by ICE, racially profiled, and forced to prove their citizenship with a passport.”
