The four Congresswomen known as The Squad are radicals and it is not only because of what they are doing in 2019.
This week video was uncovered that showed Rep. Rashida Tlaib being removed from a rally for President Donald Trump as she screamed.
And now others are sharing the arrest record of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a woman who was arrested for suspicion of trespassing and booked.

The arrest record shows that she was placed in a jail cell in Hennepin County “to prevent further criminal conduct,” from her.
The arrest happened on January 18, 2013 when the Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud stayed at the Hotel Ivy.

It happened after an event that the Somali president held at the Minneapolis Convention Center where groups of Somalis followed him to his hotel.
The police report stated that the hotel staff had called authorities to get rid of the contingent that was in their lobby.

The police noted that the majority of the people who were asked to leave by the police complied with the request and left the premises.
But everyone knows that Rep. Omar believes that the rules do not apply to her and she was more combative with the police.
“As she stood her ground and refused to leave I took hold of her left elbow to escort her from the lobby,” the report said.
“Omar then pulled away from me stating, ‘Don’t put your hands on me!’ Others in her group complied and began walking toward the front entry/exit door as I ordered and I managed to coax Omar out with them,” it said.
“[Omar] was given repeated opportunities to leave the hotel on her own free will, however she refused to leave even after being verbally trespassed by uniformed Minneapolis police officers and informed that she would be placed under arrest for trespassing.

“[Omar] was booked at HCJ [Hennepin County jail] in order to prevent further criminal conduct,” the report, provided to Snopes, said.
Omar was not an elected official at the time of her arrest. She won election to the Minnesota State House of Representatives in 2016. According to Minnesota’s Star Tribune newspaper, the charges against Omar were later dropped, and we found no evidence of trespass charges against Omar in a database of Minnesota court records.
We asked Omar’s office whether she disputed what appeared to be arresting officer descriptions of her behavior as argumentative and uncooperative, why she was present at the hotel in the first place, and why she refused to leave when asked to do so.
Unfortunately, despite multiple requests for comment, placed over several days, we received no substantive response from Omar’s spokesperson.
