Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) late Monday said President-elect Trump’s threats to deport millions and to end birthright citizenship will spark “outright fear” across the country.

She warned that in the Trump administration, teenagers could be sent “to a country they know nothing about and have not been.”

“That is what he is planning to do to Americans. And that is not only going to destabilize so many communities, but it will create an outright fear in so many people,” she told CNN's Kaitlan Collins during a Monday interview. 

Trump is set to crack down on both legal and illegal immigration, and in a Sunday interview said he intends to end the practice of birthright citizenship, something critics say would defy the Constitution.

Omar said she is most worried about tactics agencies will use to apprehend illegal immigrants with mixed family status.

“Because how are you even going to find people? How do you create the distinction? Are they going to pull people over that look like they might be an immigrant? Are they going to snatch people from their workplaces? Are they going to snatch people from their places of worship,” she asked. 

The Minnesota representative emphasized that Democrats will need to work with local legislatures to ensure residents are aware of their rights.

“We have to do everything that we can. In Minnesota, there are so many counties where the county does not have a relationship with ICE, where they are not, you know, identifying folks through that system,” Omar stated in the interview. 

“So we have to find ways to implement programs and carry out protections and boost advocacy and fight like we've never fought before to make sure our communities remain safe and stable.”
