Ilhan Omar attacks Biden administration for 'shameful' plans to resume construction on 'racist' border wall NEWS

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) blasted President Joe Biden for his administration's reported plans to resume construction of the southern border wall.

"It's shameful and unacceptable for @POTUS to continue the construction of Trump's xenophobic and racist wall," Omar tweeted on Wednesday.

Omar lashed out at President Biden after a report this week by the Washington Times that said the Department of Homeland Security is considering continuing construction on the border wall to fill in "gaps."

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reportedly told Immigration and Customs Enforcement staffers that due to the recent surge in illegal immigrants, the Biden administration is open to resuming some construction on the border wall.
