Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comments sparked an outburst from Omar, who was heard calling Trump a liar as she shouted back in the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Somali community has been under scrutiny by the Trump administration in part due to a massive pandemic-era fraud scheme that stole hundreds of millions from a federally funded nutrition program. As much as $1 billion is reported to have been stolen in separate plots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A viral December video about alleged fraud at Somali-run day care centers in the state further inflamed the administration\u2019s response, including launching a massive immigration raid in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Trump talked about illegal immigration and the border, Rep. Rashida Talib (D-Mich.) yelled at Trump, \u201cYou\u2019re killing Americans.\u201d Omar also yelled, \u201cYou have killed Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Democrats wore pins and held up signs with protest messages. Norma Torres (D-Calif.) held up a two-sided sign with the photos of two Americans killed by immigration officers, Alex Pretti and Renee Good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was escorted out of the House chamber shortly after Trump began delivering his address, holding up a sign that read, \u201cBLACK PEOPLE AREN\u2019T APES.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
