A tense moment unfolded in Washington as U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar shouted at President Donald Trump during a debate on immigration enforcement.

Trump criticised Democrats for demanding reforms before approving more funding for the Department of Homeland Security. He accused them of weakening border control and national security.

Omar strongly disagreed. She shouted, “You have killed Americans,” during the heated exchange.

Her reaction followed a federal immigration operation in Minnesota. During that operation, federal agents shot and killed two Americans, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

The incident sparked outrage among many Democrats. They demanded accountability and called for changes to immigration enforcement rules.

Republicans defended the operation. They said federal agents acted to protect national security.

The clash highlights growing political tension in the United States over immigration policy. It also shows how divided lawmakers remain on the use of federal enforcement powers.
