The shutdown is on its 47th day.
While Democrats have mainly tried to blame Republicans for the damaging effects of the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has admitted her own party's culpability.
Omar was speaking at a town hall event on Tuesday when she said that Americans were under heightened terror alert, and the shutdown was placing them under needless threat.
'Ilhan Omar admits Democrats are holding DHS hostage as terrorists want to kill Americans.'
"As many of you know, Democrats said we are not going to pass the appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security unless they agreed to 10 reforms, simple things like unmasking [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents when they were patrolling our communities," Omar explained.
The partial shutdown is in its 47th day after the federal funding lapsed on Feb. 14.
