Ma'am respectfully, please go to the nearest safe ER to get examined when able. The assailant attacked you with an unknown substance. Your health and safety is pertinent to your well-being. If you're not good, you won't be able to serve your constituents. Please be safe Rep. Omar!

I'm glad to hear you're well. I was just educated politely to stop saying "Defund" and go with "Abolish" What you said right before being attacked confirmed that immediately. ICE can not be reformed.

We are with you 🤍
