MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (THECOUNT) — There’s a good chance if Rep. Ilhan Omar is in town and she looks out her window or walks to her car, she’ll see one or two, or maybe a few thousand Make America Great Again hats streaming by directly outside her Minneapolis district office on Thursday.
President Trump‘s Minnesota rally Thursday is kicking off at the Target Center which is located – directly across the street – from the Rep’s Minneapolis district office.

The Rep’s officer is located at 404 3rd Avenue North, Suite 203 in Minneapolis, MN. The Target Center is located at, 600 N 1st Ave, a mere stone’s throw away.
The Trump campaign recently threatened to sue the Minneapolis arena over attempting to passing along a half-million-dollar security bill from the city to cover costs of the president’s political rally today.
The venue has since withdrawn the request, according to Trump’s campaign manager.
At least 20,000 people are said to be attending the rally. Video from the scene showed what appeared to be an endless line of humanity waiting to enter the Target Center, the home of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
