The Minneapolis and U.S. Capitol Police were investigating on Wednesday after a man attacked Representative Ilhan Omar with an unknown substance during a public event the previous evening in the city. The attack was the latest reflection of the charged political climate over an aggressive federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota that has prompted an outpouring of anger.

Ms. Omar, a Democrat who represents part of Minneapolis and has been a frequent target of President Trump, was sprayed with a strong-smelling liquid during a town hall she was holding in her district on Tuesday evening to criticize U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the city.

The immediate reaction of Representative Ilhan Omar when she was squirted with a liquid at a town hall last night is getting attention. Instead of rushing to aides or fleeing, as one might expect, she moved toward the man with her right fist raised, before he was tackled by security officers. Seconds later, she told aides and a security guard that she wanted to keep speaking at the event, even as they advised her to get evaluated. Defiant, Omar told them, “We will continue.”A South Minneapolis neighbor of Anthony Kazmierczak, the man arrested after the attack on Representative Ilhan Omar during a town hall on Tuesday night, said that Kazmierczak had recently told him he was going to go to the town hall and “might get arrested.” The neighbor, Brian Kelley, said he didn’t think Kazmierczak meant he would attack the congresswoman.

Patrice Benoit, who was married to Anthony Kazmierczak, the man accused of spraying liquid at Representative Ilhan Omar, for a little less than four years until 2017, said that she was “heartbroken to hear of” the attack and wanted to “wish peace, strength and healing to everyone affected, including Ilhan’s family and community and Anthony’s family.” Benoit said she had not had any interactions with Kazmierczak since 2017. newly filed federal lawsuit claims that people arrested by ICE in Minnesota are sometimes denied access to lawyers until after they are moved out of the state. The plaintiffs are asking a judge to order that detainees have access to lawyers.

President Trump criticized Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska after the two Republicans became the first in their party to call for Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, to lose her job after two U.S. citizens were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in recent weeks. “They’re terrible senators,” Trump told ABC News in an interview on Tuesday night, calling them both “losers.”

The attacks are risky for Trump, whose narrow margins in the Senate mean he will need their votes on most congressional actions.

President Trump told ABC News on Tuesday night that he had not seen video footage of the attack on Representative Ilhan Omar, but suggested without evidence that she had staged it. “I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud,” said Trump, who has targeted Omar, a Democrat, for years. “She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” he claimed.

Miller suggests federal agents may have diverted from ‘protocol’ before Pretti was killed.

Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, has suggested that federal agents “may not have been following” protocol before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, after days in which he and other Trump administration officials portrayed the shooting as justified.

Mr. Miller said in a statement that the White House had provided “clear guidance” to the Department of Homeland Security that federal agents deployed to Minnesota as part of the administration’s immigration crackdown be used to protect “arrest teams” from people he described as “disruptors.”

Who is Representative Ilhan Omar?

Ilhan Omar, the Democratic member of Congress who was attacked at a public event in Minnesota on Tuesday, has come under fire for years, including from President Trump.

“I’ve survived war. And I’m definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me,” Ms. Omar said after the attack, in which the assailant sprayed her with an unknown substance. She appeared unharmed after the episode. A suspect, later identified by the police as Anthony J. Kazmierczak, 55, was arrested at the scene; his motives were unclear on Wednesday.

Ecuador lodges a formal protest after an ICE agent attempted to enter its Minneapolis consulate.

Ecuador’s foreign ministry said it lodged a formal diplomatic protest with the United States after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent attempted to enter the country’s consulate in Minneapolis without permission on Tuesday morning.

Employees of the consulate stopped the agent from entering, the Ecuadorean foreign ministry said in a statement Tuesday night. Under the Vienna Conventions, to which the United States is a party, foreign consular buildings are off-limits to law enforcement from the host country without authorization from consular officials.

Dozens are arrested after an anti-ICE protest at a Manhattan Hilton.

Dozens of demonstrators were arrested in Manhattan on Tuesday evening after occupying the lobby of a TriBeCa hotel where, they said, federal immigration agents were staying while carrying out the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

More than 100 people crammed into the hotel, a Hilton Garden Inn on Sixth Avenue near Canal Street, at about 6 p.m., condemning the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency with chants and anti-ICE slogans on their black T-shirts.

A man rushes at Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting and sprays her with fluid.

During a town hall with Representative Ilhan Omar in Minneapolis on Tuesday evening, a man rushed the lectern and appeared to spray her with a strong-smelling liquid before he was tackled by security.

The man, who had been seated directly in front of the lectern in the front row, suddenly jumped up as Ms. Omar was speaking and ran toward the podium. He used a syringe to spray her shirt with a substance that smelled strongly of vinegar. As he stumbled backward and pointed at her, a security officer tackled him to the ground, handcuffed him, and removed him from the room.
