Several House Democrats have announced plans to bring guests tied to high-profile national issues to President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address, reflecting political tensions around the release of documents connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and immigration enforcement, lawmakers said Monday.
Some Democrats will bring people who were allegedly detained by ICE during the protests and riots in Minnesota that erupted after the death of Renee Nicole Good, the Daily Caller reported.
Other House Democrats are also participating in similar efforts, with lawmakers inviting family members of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre and other survivors to highlight concerns about the Justice Department’s handling of the release of millions of pages of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Democrat Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar announced she is bringing four guests to President Donald Trump’s SOTU speech Tuesday night.
She claims three were detained by ICE in Minnesota — including Aliya Rahman, who appeared in a viral video showing federal agents pulling her from her vehicle, the New York Post reported.
