On January 27, 2026 US Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) was speaking at a town hall in Minneapolis. A man (Anthony Kazmierczak) rushed up to the podium and sprayed an unknown liquid substance on Omar while shouting at her. He was immediately tackled by two security officers.
Kazmierczak was arrested and charged with assault. (The liquid was later identified as apple cider vinegar).
I sketched the brief preliminary hearing for Kazmierczak on February 3, 2026 before Judge David Schultz.
