Join Congresswoman Omar in calling for an investigation into the arrest of Aliya Rahman!

At the State of the Union, Capitol police forcibly grabbed and arrested Aliya Rahman — an invited guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar — for standing peacefully and silently in the gallery.

She was not disrupting the event.

According to NBC News and MPR, Rahman required medical care after officers removed her. The Washington Post and TIME report that Rep. Omar is now calling for an investigation into why her guest was treated this way. Just weeks earlier, Rahman was assaulted by ICE agents in Minneapolis — raising even more urgent questions about excessive force and accountability.

If a congressional guest can be violently removed from the Capitol for simply standing in silence, what does that mean for our civil liberties?

We’re demanding a full, transparent investigation by the Department of Justice and oversight from Congress. Public pressure is how we force action — it’s how investigations are launched, and abuses are exposed.

Add your name now to demand accountability and defend the right to exist peacefully in our democracy.

Thanks,
Mary
