On Feb. 24, 2026, U.S. Capitol Police arrested Aliya Rahman, a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar, after officers say she refused orders to sit and disrupted the House gallery during President Trump’s State of the Union address. Rahman — who says she stood silently in protest of Trump’s remarks about Minnesota’s Somali community — was escorted out, treated at George Washington University Hospital for shoulder injuries, booked on unlawful-conduct charges and later released. Omar called for an investigation, noting Rahman had been forcibly removed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in January and suffered injuries during that encounter. Police cited demonstration rules. (time.com)
