Tlaib’s family came to US from Palestine while Omar, a Somali-American woman came to the US as a refugee more than 20 years ago, the media reported. Omar will also be the first hijab-wearing member of the Congress. Tlaib won a seat from Michigan while Omer won from Minnesota to become the member of the US Congress.
