(Fox) Freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib said publicly in 2012 that her sister was on the “no-fly list,” lamenting at the time that as a state representative in Michigan, she couldn’t get her off it.
Now that she’s a member of Congress — and a high-profile one at that, especially after the former lawyer made headlines with a profanity-laced call to impeach President Trump — it remains unclear if the status of Tlaib’s younger sister has changed.
For a sitting member of Congress to have a family member on the secretive and at-times controversial list, which bars individuals from boarding a commercial aircraft on the grounds of national security, would be rare.
The FBI could not confirm or deny her or anybody’s presence on the list.
