‘You have killed Americans’: Ilhan Omar tries to shout down Trump’s immigration attacks
President Donald Trump used the State of the Union to attack illegal immigration and advocate for stricter border policies. He framed the issue as a national security and economic concern, highlighting enforcement and proposed reforms.
House Democrats largely responded with silence during the first hour, maintaining a defiant, unified posture as Trump pressed his immigration message. Some Republicans clashed with the opposition over policy specifics and the administration’s approach.
The speech also touched on other priorities, including the economy, national security, and veterans’ issues, with Trump portraying a stark choice on immigration and law enforcement amid ongoing partisan tensions.
