Ilhan Omar

Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, and Rashida Tlaib, D-Michigan, jointly introduced a House Resolution March 23 aiming to combat Islamophobia.

Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilham Omar and Rashida Tlaib joined Massachusetts 7th Congressional District Rep. Ayanna Pressley in Roxbury to rally volunteers as part of a get-out-the-vote effort.

After video surfaced last month of U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, making an anti-Muslim joke about her colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, elected officials and advocacy groups have taken the opportunity to speak out about ongoing xenophobia across the country, including in Massachusetts.
