Ihlan Omar is the 37-year-old Somali-born US congresswoman - one of only two Muslim women ever elected to Congress - who's become a thorn in President Trump鈥檚 side and on the receiving end of his temper. Omar was one of four congresswomen Trump told to 鈥済o back鈥� to where they came from. So who is Ilhan Omar, why has she got the President鈥檚 back up - and what's he really up to in targeting her? Mark Coles has been finding out.
