A Democrat Minnesota State Rep. on Monday *admitted* to being an illegal alien on the Minnesota house floor.
“My father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother and so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Democrat state Rep. Kaohly Vang Her said.
According to Rep. Kaohly Van Her’s website, her family came to the US as refugees from Laos.
Vang Her made the remarks during a hearing on a bill for modifying MinnesotaCare coverage eligibility to include illegal aliens.
Citizens called for ICE to arrest Vang Her.

Rep. Kaohly Vang Her did not immediately respond to The Gateway Pundit’s request for comment, however, she did release a statement to Fox 9 Minnesota.
After CLEARLY saying “I am illegal in this country,” Vang Her released a statement claiming her story was “twisted into anti-immigrant clickbait.”
Kaohly Vang Her’s full statement:
“It’s incredibly disheartening that my floor speech — where I shared my family’s deeply personal immigration story — was twisted into anti-immigrant clickbait. Let me be absolutely clear: my parents are citizens, and so am I. This clickbait directly contradicts the empathy and understanding I sought to foster and instead fueled anti-immigrant narratives with falsehoods. My family story should not have been weaponized to spread misinformation.
“My family came to the United States in 1976. We came legally as refugees of the Vietnam War, where my grandfather was a Colonel, fighting with the CIA, in the Secret War. I have been a citizen for almost four decades. Regardless of how MAGA extremists see me in their eyes, I am legal, and I am a citizen. My family has lived the American Dream. My parents worked honorable blue-collar jobs and built a life for my siblings and me. We completed our education, secured gainful employment, paid our taxes, gave back to our communities, and served in the military and elected office for the very country that gave us a new start.
“All refugees and immigrants, documented or not, have the right to seek a better life, to have safety for their family, and to fulfill their greatest potential — like all immigrants who came before them.
“It has not been lost on me that when my status was not in question, I was a model citizen who has been held up as the example for all other immigrants and refugees to aspire to. The second my status came into question, the vile comments on my worthiness came out, and those comments are telling. My status would not change all of the adversities I have overcome, the accomplishments I have achieved, and the contributions I have made.”
