Controversial Minneapolis Rep Ilhan Omar, one of a handful of progressive female representatives dubbed “the Squad” by the public and mainstream news media, tweeted late Monday night that her father, with whom she migrated to the US during the mid-1990s, had passed away due to ‘complications linked to the coronavirus.’

Per Politico, Omar and her father Nur Mohamed came to the US as refugees in 1995 from Somalia during that country’s civil war. They eventually settled in Minneapolis, where Omar launched her political career.

Alongside Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Omar in November 2018 became one of the first Muslim women to serve in the US Congress.

Several members of Congress have either tested positive for the virus, or opted to self-isolate after purportedly being exposed to it.
