[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Omar faced off with the angry protester after calling for Kristi Noem to resign while speaking about the recent Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti during a North Minneapolis town hall.
'DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment,' Omar says in footage of the incident.
The protester - later identified as 55-year-old Anthony J. Kazmierczak - ran toward Omar and sprayed a mystery substance at her from a syringe.
He then told Omar to resign and claimed she's 'tearing Minnesota apart' before being dragged away by security guards.
There was a strong, vinegarlike smell after Kazmierczak pushed on the syringe, according to an Associated Press journalist who was there. Forensic scientists responded to the scene.
Photos of the device, which fell to the ground when he was tackled, showed what appeared to be a light-brown liquid inside. There was no immediate word from officials on what it was.
Kazmierczak has an image of President Trump on his Facebook page along with another of Trump embracing Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
He was immediately at the county jail for third-degree assault, spokesperson Trevor Folke said. He is being held without bail.
The United States Capitol Police confirmed he had been detained when reached by The Daily Mail.
