The hearing, chaired by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, discussed the recent heightened presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota and the fatal shooting of Renee Good.

Tlaib held up a printed Jan. 9 social media post by the DHS’ official account, shared across multiple platforms, that depicted a mountainous landscape with a man riding a horse in the right corner. The photo featured text that read “we will have our home again.”
“We will have our home again,” the congresswoman said, presenting the photo. “What does that evoke in you when you see this? It literally, when I see it, as a Muslima, as a Palestinian, as a child of immigrants, I see that this is something that is evoking like I’m not welcome here.”

She stated that one version of the post, made on Instagram, included a song, also titled “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” by Pine Tree Riots.
“It’s popularized in neo-Nazi spaces,” Tlaib said of the song. “The track features lines about reclaiming our home by ‘Blood or sweat,’ language often used in white nationalist calls for a race war.”
While the phrase has been used online in some white nationalist forums, there is no evidence it was ever associated with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), despite claims by many of the post’s critics, Newsweek reported.
President Donald Trump began extensive ICE operations in Minnesota following a massive fraud scandal in the state in which the vast majority of those charged were of Somali descent.

Tlaib has previously called her political opponents “fascist.” The Michigan Democrat got into a heated argument with Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds after Tlaib insinuated that Republicans were engaging in a “fascist takeover” during a Sept. 18, 2025 House hearing concerning crime in Washington DC. Tlaib’s accusation led to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo to call for her to be censured by Congress.
