Woman severely injured by Trump's ICE thrown out of State of the Union
A woman who was brutally injured by President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month was thrown out of the State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Aliya Rahman, who was invited to attend the speech, was removed from the gallery after Trump began discussing alleged fraud in Minnesota. Trump claimed that the Somali-American community in Minnesota has taken about $19 billion from taxpayers through fraud schemes, although he has provided no evidence supporting that total.
Rahman was forcibly removed from her car during a traffic stop conducted by Trump's ICE agents in January. She told a House panel earlier this month that ICE agents threatened to kill her. She added that they forcibly dragged her from her car, causing her serious injuries.
