Minneapolis woman whom Ilhan Omar took to State of the Union needed medical care after arrest
WASHINGTON Aliyah Rahman, a Minnesota woman whom Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., took as her guest to the State of the Union address Tuesday, needed hospital treatment after she was arrested during the speech, Rahman and Omar said.
Rahman silently stood up during the part of President Donald Trumps speech in which he called on Democrats to restore funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The people around her remained seated. When U.S. Capitol Police approached and asked Rahman to sit down, she refused.

Capitol Police took Rahman, who was walking with the help of a crutch, and started pulling her toward the exit a move that faced protest from one of the other guests in the gallery, who called on the police to be less aggressive with Rahman.

I was not just removed and arrested. I was arrested so physically that two other attendees upstairs attempted to intervene in officers pulling on my shoulders after I told them I have a torn rotator cuff tendon and multiple cartilage tears in both of my shoulders, she said.
