The uproar began after Trump urged those who believe “the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens" to stand up.
“Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” the president said looking towards Democratic lawmakers.
Omar and Tlaib — members of the “Squad,” an informal group of progressive House Democrats — then started yelling at the president from their seats.
“You have killed Americans!” Omar could be heard shouting repeatedly, apparently referencing the two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed by federal immigration agents in Minnesota.
“You should be ashamed,” Omar, who has frequently been the target of Trump’s ire, added.
Tlaib, who is wearing a large “F*** ICE” pin, yelled “lies” several times.
Polls show that many Americans share the lawmakers’ concerns about Trump’s immigration enforcement measures. According to a February survey from Quinnipiac, 63 percent of Americans disapprove of the way ICE is enforcing immigration laws.
