Minnesota: Supporters and opponents of US President Donald Trump squared off before the Republican president was scheduled to speak at a Tax Day rally in Burnsville, Minnesota, on April 15, 2019.

Trump has escalated his feud with Omar Ilhan, accusing the Minnesota Democrat of making "anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements."

But Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim civil rights and advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations, one of the organizers of the #WeStandWithIlhan rally, accuses Trump of targeting Omar and inciting violence against her.

Omar says she has faced increased death threats since Trump spread a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
