Rep. Omar Speaks Out Against Anti-Protest Bill

Rep. Ilhan Omar speaks against a Minnesota bill that would increase penalties against groups that block freeways and roads, a tactic that Black Lives Matter has used to draw attention to its cause. Rep. Omar likens the protests of Black Lives Matters to those of civil rights activists in Selma, Alabama. "We got here because we forgot where we came from, the progress we have made," she told Minnesota lawmakers. The anti-protest provision was part of the larger Omnibus Public Safety Bill, which the House approved.
