October 12, 2026 Pressley Stands with Rep. Omar After Trump’s Baseless Attacks and Raid BOSTO N – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) issued the following statement in fervent support of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN-05) amid Donald Trump’s baseless attacks against her—including the raid of her home today by federal authorities. “This is a gross abuse of power and the latest in a decade-long, racist smear campaign against a duly elected Black Congresswoman,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “Trump is a coward who is weaponizing his DOJ to fuel hate and intimidate his opponents with baseless attacks like these, just like he’s doing with Rep. McIver, Lisa Cook, and Tish James. We stand with you, Congresswoman Omar.” ### Back to News Next Article Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
