The Department of Homeland Security said some Democrats invited ICE detainees and suspected undocumented immigrants as guests to President Trump’s State of the Union. Rep. Ilhan Omar said her guest, Aliya Rahman, was forcibly removed from the House gallery, taken to a hospital and later booked on an "Unlawful Conduct" charge — which carries up to six months in jail and a $500 fine — after Rahman said she was arrested for silently standing; Capitol Police did not immediately comment.
